ACA Urges HHS to Extend Public Health Emergency

The American Counseling Association (ACA) recently sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Alex Azar requesting that HHS extend the public health emergency beyond its current July 25, 2020 expiration date so that licensed professional counselors can continue to offer the highest quality care and provide greater access to behavioral health services for millions of Americans through the COVID-19 pandemic.
