CRCC Advocacy via Key Partnerships

CRCC actively engages with many professional and educational organizations serving the rehabilitation counseling community to ensure that Rehabilitation Counselors have access both to the credentials to practice and to the employment settings for which they are qualified.

One such partnership is the Rehabilitation Counseling Consortium which addresses key initiatives for people with disabilities such as professional licensure and the need for greater education of consumers, employers and policymakers.
