1. Clinical mental health counselors have resources and support through many different professional organizations. The American Counseling Association is the primary organization that lobbies and supports the practice rights of clinical mental health counselors. Go to the American Counseling Association’s Web site and explore the various divisions and branches, as well as your state’s Web site. Additionally, go to Chi Sigma Iota, which is the national honors society for counseling learners in CACREP accredited programs. Visit the Capella chapter Chi Upsilon Chi (CUC). Additionally, visit the CUC chapter on iGuide. Although you are not eligible for this honor at this time, you may become eligible to be initiated into the honors society during your residency. Note: Links to these Web sites are provided in this unit’s studies.
