As pointed out in your text, ensuring counselor competence is
an ongoing responsibility for every counselor. Go to Virginia
state board’s
ww.dhp.virginia.gov/counseling
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 and answer all 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?
What are some themes you see when you look at the common
reasons for Virginia board discipline?
Choose one of the more recent cases and discuss the
following points:
What was the behavior that led to the discipline?
Identify and share the ACA Code of Ethics and Virginia State
Code that was violated.
What was the outcome of the board discipline?
2. What does the ACA Code of Ethics and state of Virginia code
say about counselor impairment?
7.What is a question this bring to mind for you?
