CRCC - CRCC (Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification) is holding 2 Town Hall Sessions on July 23rd and 24th. ( Register Below)

July's Town Hall Sessions are titled, "Who We Are and What We Stand For: Professional Identity."

Since its formation, the rehabilitation counseling profession has meant many things to many people. Now, in the wake of significant changes to the profession, graduate programs, and the various settings in which CRCs work, a collective professional identity is crucial to our ability to raise awareness of this important work and make strides toward securing a robust future for Certified Rehabilitation Counselors.

The goal of these Town Hall sessions is to review and identify ways to improve our collective professional identity. Attendees will hear from professionals who consider their CRC integral to their professional identity, as well as share with each other how they view their identity as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor.

Over both sessions, the guest panelists will include:

Mary Barros-Bailey, PhD, CRC, NCC, CLCP, ABVE/AE, CVE, CCC
Judy Drew, PhD, CRC
Joseph Keferl, RhD, CRC, FNRCA
Aaron Mertes, PhD, CRC

To accommodate varying attendee availability, there will be two sessions that will cover the same content and focus areas. You are welcome to attend both sessions to participate in both sets of discussions, but you will only receive one CE credit.

You will receive one (1) CE credit for attending a July Town Hall Session. CE credit will be applied to your CRCC Connect account within two weeks of the July session dates.

If you have any questions, please contact Taylor Bauer, Director of Communications and Marketing, at [email protected]
