Discussion
Prior to answering this discussion question, please download and read the Code of Ethics from both the American Association of Christian Counselors, and the American Counseling Association. These resources are located in your Course Materials for this week.
The ACA code of ethics must always be followed by professional counselors. If a counselor decides to specifically become a Christian counselor, must they abide by both sets of codes (American Counseling Association and American Association of Christian Counselors)? What are some considerations for counselors in this scenario? In general, what is the major role of the counselor when working with other mental health professionals?
The DQ response must be 150-200 words and have at least one citation and one reference in APA format.
Take time to review the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) website to be able to respond to this discussion question.
What would be the major licensure difference between the state and national level according to the NBCC? In addition, could a counselor practice in their state with only a national certification? What is the purpose of a national certification?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
