Election News and Dr. Burns' New Video  

Dear Members and Past Members:

We are happy to share the 3rd important video in a series that member Dr. Stephanie Burns created for us. 

Shaping, Updating, Establishing, Or Communing: Which Counseling Association Member Are You?

Also, because we have so many new dues paying members we would like to re-share 3 videos we shared earlier in the year.

The first is information from seasoned couples counselor and member, David Flowers. In this video Dave shares insights he’s learned from doing the work for the past 20 years. 

Member Kelly McGhee shared her expertise in this MMHCA podcast about Pet Loss Grief therapy. 

And member Jennifer Mitchell, the Executive Director of MCBAP, shared how to become CAADC credentialed in this interview.

If you have an area of expertise you would like to share, please write us at MMHCABOARD@MMHCANOW.ORG.

Please take a moment to listen to a 2 minute special message from our treasurer, Krystin Sankey, here.

Ballots will be emailed to members tomorrow. The DeBoer group would be honored to have your vote and opportunity continue the meaningful work we’ve been doing! We're really excited about our 12 candidates for the Board!!
