Accredited counseling programs help to support a unified counseling profession (Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs [CACREP], 2015). As we continue to strive for this unity, which strengthens the future of the counseling profession, it is critical to attend to the standards that guide our counseling programs and curriculum. The 2016 CACREP Standards focus on the foundation of a strong professional identity that includes advocacy on behalf of the profession and initiatives needed to address systemic barriers that impede client success. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss counselor professional identity and the advocacy interventions that can address institutional and social barriers that affect clients.

Section 6 of the 2016 CACREP Standards clearly delineates “Leadership and Advocacy” as one of the five core areas of doctoral-level counselor education and supervision, and features that address many of these standards can be found throughout the text. We list the 2016 CACREP Standards that have been addressed in the text at the conclusion of each part. (CACREP standards are currently under revision, and new standards are scheduled to be released in 2024.)
