Independently Licensed Counselors’ Connection to CACREP and State Professional Identity Requirements

Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health concern that affects millions of people. Physical violence is one type of IPV and has myriad consequences for survivors, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is estimated that as many as 23,000,000 women in the United States who have experienced IPV live with brain injury. This article overviews the intersection of TBI and PTSD as a result of IPV. Implications for counselors treating women impacted by IPV suggest counselors incorporate an initial screening for TBI and consider TBI-and PTSD-specific trauma-informed approaches within therapy to ensure best practices. A case study demonstrating the importance of the awareness of the potential for TBI in clients who experience IPV is included.

The Impact of School Counseling Supervision on Practicing School Counselors’ Self-Efficacy in Building a Comprehensive School Counseling Program

“…Clinical counselors are provided scaffolded opportunities to increase self-efficacy through strictly regulated experiences and supervision (Burns & Cruikshanks, 2018), but school counselors are not afforded the same formalized postgraduate training despite grappling with many of the same presenting issues (Fye et al, 2020). If school counselors do receive supervision, it is most often administrative supervision from principals who are not familiar with school counseling best practices or appropriate duties (Fye et al, 2018).…”
