Mental Health Access Improvement Act Passes!

After nearly a decade of work, the Mental Health Access Improvement Act passed both the United States House and Senate and is on its way to President Biden's desk for his signature.  The passage of this act allows Licensed Professional Counselors to now participate in the Medicare program.  Please see the announcement from ACA by clicking the link below.
