Description:
EVENT:
Study, graduate, take the exam, get your hours in, earn your license, AND now, violà, you’re a professional, right? Sorry to break the news but our professional journey never ends in the mental health field as licensed clinical counselors. While completing the necessary educational and clinical requirements of licensure is a start of the journey; being a professional means always being part of a professional body that requires continual learning and growing.
This webinar will be conducted as a two-person panel with presentation and moderated discussion. The purpose of this webinar is to enhance and enrich participants' professional sense of identity as a professional clinical mental health counselor. By increasing the understanding of the value of professional association, the participants will gain a stronger clarity in the purpose for professional association: to advance the profession, support the interests of persons in that profession, and serve the public good by facilitating innovation, communication, and connection.
