NYMHCA Alerts! Petition

Ø  We now have about 4,000 signatures on the petition to clarify the mental health counselor scope of practice and need 1.000 more before we pull it, print it and send it to legislators! We need those 1,000 signatures by 2/15!! If you haven't signed it, please do it now and spread the word to your students about how important this petition can be in our bid to clarify our legal authority to diagnose!  Friends and family are welcome to sign too.
