Community Event for National Recovery Month, 9/17!
In recognition of National Recovery Month we are bringing back the much acclaimed documentary, THE ANONYMOUS PEOPLE , for another showing on Wednesday, September 17th. It will be held at Saratoga Arts, Dee Sarno Theater at 320 Broadway, Saratoga Springs at 7pm. The filmmaker, Greg Williams, will lead a Q/A session after the film is shown.
THE ANONYMOUS PEOPLE is a feature documentary about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs. Although social stigma and discrimination have kept recovery voices silent in the past, THE ANONYMOUS PEOPLE breaks this silence as leaders, volunteers, corporate executives, and celebrities share their courageous stories of addiction and long-term recovery. This passionate, new, and public recovery movement is transforming public opinion and finally shifting policy discussions toward lasting recovery solutions.
This screening of The Anonymous People is free. We do ask you to pre-register at: https://raisaratoga.

Have you ever asked yourself What or who is ACA NY? What do they do? How did ACA NY come about? How can ACA NY benefit me? Well your in luck, we would like to start off the year with new board members by introducing ACA NY!
What/Who is ACA NY? ACA-NY is a not-for-profit grassroots organization that represents professional counselors and counseling students, of all specialty areas, who live or work in New York State. As a chapter of the American Counseling Association, we extend the efforts of growing and enhancing the counseling profession at the state level. ACA NY board members are elected by members for one and two year terms. Typically, future board members express interest through member surveys, at events, and word of mouth from current board members. We always encourage and appreciate member input during nominations and elections. Eligible members are encouraged to take on leadership and leadership-elect positions and are supported in their leadership development. Nominations are accepted during the months of February and March and elections take place in April. The new board members are announced in May!
What does ACA NY do?

* Providing free Continuing Education Units (CEU) opportunities for our members at least four times per year
* Organizing grassroots legislative movements advocating for the counseling profession
* Organizing events and developing public service announcements for increasing public awareness of the counseling profession
How did ACA NY come about? ACA NY was developed from an idea at a North Atlantic Region meeting. The hope was to offer professionals in the area local CEU options based upon what members need. Another goal of creating ACA NY was to keep NY involved with ACA. In order for NY to have representation in ACA there needs to be an organization. In turn ACA NY hopes to provide information from ACA to members in NY relating the issues to New York State specifically. Another reason ACA NY was developed was to maintain an organized legislative effort to help protect a shared professional identity, ACA NY does that by incorporating all specialties.
How can ACA NY benefit me? Members of ACA receive the benefits of ACA NY for free! If you reside in NY and are a member of ACA you are automatically an ACA NY member and pay no additional dues.
