Hello! Thank you for your support!

As of today there are 389 signatures on this petition. All the support is amazing!

This year in 2020 there has been a large increase in the need for mental health services. Some of the reasons are due to pandemic concerns, loss of income, increase in violence, and racial unrest. There is a struggle and lack of opportunity for behavioral and mental health counselors to receive a salary of fulltime pay with medical and selfcare benefits equal to time spent with traveling, conducting session, and paperwork for a client.

Many behavioral and mental health counselors/therapist are in a social economic status of low income. There is an overload of clients in need of service; which is an expressed reason many experience burnout resulting in leaving the counseling and therapy job positions.

Please share this petition with your network or contacts.

Help pass on the importance to provide salary increases and selfcare benefits for behavioral and mental health counselors/therapist.  

Thank you!
