Hello, NCC!

As you know, NBCC is always looking for innovative ways to promote the counseling profession and counselors. One of our newest efforts – a collaboration with Psychology Today – features an online counselor directory and a unique learning opportunity for NCCs.

Many of us remember Psychology Today as a magazine emerging from the discipline of psychology. It has, however, become a resource for both professional counselors and the public, providing accessible and timely information about relationship and family issues, as well as more serious emotional conditions, and actively promoting emotional well-being. Given that counseling works from a wellness model, the magazine’s focus and content are a good fit with many mental health disciplines.

For a free trial issue of Psychology Today, go to

https://secure.sussexdirectories.com/therapist/nbcc-subscribe.php

If you like what you read – and we think you will – you can get a one-year subscription for the special rate of $15.97.

As an added benefit, you’ll have the opportunity to earn continuing education hours for reading relevant articles. Some articles in the magazine are particularly relevant to cutting edge topics in our practices. We choose two per issue and extend to you the opportunity to receive expansive continuing education from your home or office. Visit www.nbcc.org/pt/ for details. This month’s articles center around both anorexia and relationships.

If you have questions about this or any other NBCC initiative or program, e-mail professionalpractice@nbcc.org.

My best regards to you,

Thomas W. Clawson, Ed.D, NCC, NCSC, LPC
President and CEO
