Unite in support of one model for counselors
2009 counseling licensure finally enacted in all 50 state, but many different requirement and titles
Technology assisted counseling makes matter more urgent
Recommends licensure language model
A) nonprofit organization model- national org and stores and sends application materials, expedites process but makes no changes to state specific requirements, could include credential banking system or unified application process, most practical model
d) mutual recognition model- interstate compact, similar to drivers license, may reduce confidence in profession if least restrictive state used, may take a long time
C and d) federal and national licensure model- aspirational and similar, state sovereignty violated, lacks practical application, nlm state issues license but does not set standards, flam federal government issues and manages license
E) licensure language model- similar language used, significant lobbying resources, ACA could provide model legislation language for laws at state level, may exclude those that are not Cacrep accredited
