opic: Counselor Competency and Wellness

Prompt: As pointed out in your text, ensuring counselor competence is an ongoing responsibility for every counselor. Additionally, part of remaining competent is commitment to self-care. Go to your particular state board’s website(State of Virginia) and look up cases of counselor’s who were disciplined by the board. You may want to look under such terms as “case decisions,” enforcement actions,” “actions taken by board,” or “discipline.” If you cannot find your particular state’s disciplinary decisions, then pick another state. Look over the cases that have come before your state board (Virginia state board)and answer 1 of the following questions:

  • What are the most common reasons for a board to discipline a counselor, and what is your personal reaction as you read through the list?
  • How might self-care, or lack thereof, result in counselor impairment?
  • What does the ACA Code of Ethics, and the professional counselors say about counselor wellness and impairment?
