Question: A Historical Perspective

In Chapter 1 of your textbook, the section called Where Are We Going? presents issues that are likely to influence your practice as a clinical mental health counselor in the future.

For your post, complete the following:

• Select an issue that you expect to impact your future practice opportunities.

• Describe the issue; then discuss how historical and social trends created this issue and why it is now in the foreground for the field.

• Support your points by citing the readings assigned in this unit, and at least one news article or press release found on the Web sites of ACA or AMHCA. (For guidance on the proper way to cite information from the Internet, review the APA Style and Format Campus pages, linked in the Resources.)

Your initial post needs to be at least 250 words. Be sure to support your positions with appropriate references. Also, review the Turnitin tutorial in the Resources. Then submit your initial discussion post in a Word document to Turnitin for an analysis of your citation of sources. Note that you will need the Turnitin report for a Unit 2 discussion.
