Topic: Supervision & Incidents of Counselor Impairment
Question/Prompt: As pointed out in your textbook, counselor competence is an ongoing responsibility for every counselor. Access your state board website and look up cases of counselors 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.” Look over the cases that have come before your state board.
