ACA President Issues Post-Election Statement of Support

Counselors and Counselor Educators, supervisors and leaders can help to ensure that the best information, best skills and best spirit is maintained as we go about our daily lives. There are people who will need our support and compassion, and as always, we will offer that to them, with the assurance that they are supported, valued, and respected as worthwhile humans.

I love our profession for many reasons, and one major reason is that we have the charge, responsibility and indeed influence, to see the good, and to participate in the conversation at all levels. As you have heard from me many times, and especially at this time, let us offer positivity, hope and courage to all.
