Have often heard that a big advantage of clinical counseling is the safety it provides through the accountability structure of state licensure. It got me thinking - how often does this actually happen - that Clinical Counselors are suspended for misconduct /poor counsel?

As christian counselors, we should be very committed to seeking to find out all that the Bible says about psychiatric disorders, bc it leads to hope, always, when properly applied & understood. We shouldn’t ignore science but many counselors view the DSM w/o God in view at all.
https://t.co/01kRLh5rBB - The Bible doesn’t offer simple answers to complex problems, but the answers it does offer are reliable and true, worthy of becoming the focal point in people-helping conversations- no matter whether conversing with a pastor or professional counselor.
BCC kicked off a Spanish Marriage and Family class with 18 students this week- excited for our Spanish training coordinator Esther St. John and the work she is doing is setting up our Spanish programs. Look for more training in Spanish in 2023.
