Updated materials for 1724 feedback sessions
Thank you to those who have already registered to join our feedback sessions next week! If you have not registered yet and would like to attend, please register at the links below.

We are offering a daytime and evening session to accommodate different scheduling needs. Both sessions will have the same content. Pick the session that works best for you or attend both sessions. You can register for the webinars at the links below:

August 29, 2023: 10am-12pm
August 31, 2023: 5pm-7pm

We are also reaching out because we have made some clarifications and corrections to the materials we shared last week. Below are links to the updated documents. We expanded on some of the recommendations to clarify the intent or which professions they applied to, and we added a recommendation for statute change for Master’s level counselors that would be required to accomplish our rulemaking recommendation regarding continuing education.
