THE COUNSELING COMPACT

You have probably heard that the Counseling Compact is coming.

Now is the time to learn how the Counseling Compact will

work and how to become a Compact counselor.

This practical seminar will equip you with the knowledge

and resources you need.

The Counseling Compact will become a reality within a few months. Under this interstate compact qualified professional counselors in the 30+ Compact Member States will be able to legally practice to and/or from other Compact Member States. The Counseling Compact is poised to create a pivotal change in the Professional Counseling landscape; further, its impact will be felt in the other mental health professions by greatly increasing professional counselors' ability to serve clients in dozens of other states.

If you own a private practice or manage services at an organization/agency, you will need to know about the opportunities that will result from the Counseling Compact. You won't want to be behind the curve on this. Importantly, if you have a specialty practice or work for an organization that serves special populations the Counseling Compact can allow access to your services by new clients across the country.

Examples of content:

• What is the Counseling Compact and how does it work?
• Who is eligible to become a Compact counselor?
• States currently involved in the Counseling Compact
• When could I begin practicing under the Compact?
• Process for obtaining Compact privileges
• Compacts, one of the Five Provisions for legal cross-state practice
• Why the Counseling Compact will affect all psychotherapists
• Misconceptions and myths about cross-state practice

• Interstate compacts and their implications for private practices & organizations
• more
