Advantages of the Interstate Counseling Compact and What It Means for Professional Counselors
For the past several years, ACA has been working with the National Center for Interstate Compacts to create and operationalize a compact for counselors—and now the Counseling Compact is moving toward becoming operational. Thirty-seven states have now passed the Compact legislation and have joined the Commission, which will likely start granting privileges to practice in other Compact states by the end of 2024. The Compact will significantly change the way counselors can practice and provide continuity of care and the ability to reach underserved populations.
