Advancing Licensure
Advancing State Licensure and Educational Standards for Rehabilitation Counseling
CRCC is strategically focused on advancing the interests of the rehabilitation counseling community by advocating for the recognition of rehabilitation counseling in the state laws and regulations governing the licensure requirements for professional rehabilitation counselors. CRCC is committed to rehabilitation counseling services that are dedicated to improving training, education, and certification reflecting current professional practice.
National & State Efforts
CRCC is currently engaged in a nationwide effort to educate state legislatures and regulators regarding the benefits of specially trained and certified rehabilitation counselors. By responding to ongoing rulemaking and through proactive engagement with state regulatory agencies and professional boards, CRCC seeks to ensure regulators understand that qualified services provided to individuals with disabilities are an important part of the counseling profession.
Local Efforts
CRCC is also reaching out to local practitioners and professionals, providing support, informational materials, direction, and strategies necessary for Certified Rehabilitation Counselors (CRCs) to participate and inform their local professional boards. Such local professional boards have a strong voice at the state level. Educating legislators and regulatory officials about the role of CRCs via the local counseling community is crucial to maintaining and increasing access for individuals with disabilities.
