Social Justice and Youth
Christine Brown, Social Justice Committee Chair, reminds us of the importance of creating space for youth voice in our organization, in our community, and within our profession.

Youth Voice!

What would you like to tell counselors in Illinois?
​
The ACACI Newsletter is emailed quarterly to members of the Illinois Counseling Association. We are inviting youth (with parental consent) to write articles, share stories, ask questions or provide statements to counselors to help them understand the strengths, the concerns and the needs of Illinois youth.
