Professional Development is an important aspect of being a professional counselor. Section C, Professional Responsibility of the 2014 ACA Code states "Counselors actively participate in local, state, and national associations that foster the development and improvement of counseling."
My efforts in professional development have included joining professional associations to gain access to information, papers, newsletters, and opportunities for continuing education.
