HiCJ,
Good talking with you today....hope yougot all you needed shopping.
Below are ACA and LPC Code of Ethicsfor self-referral issue we discussed. As we
mentioned, being sure you're followingagency's guidelines, and giving other
referrals, so the client knowthey have options and don't feel they're being
solicited to yourpractice. Since the clients are being terminated, seems like
that would be ok, but best to check with agency guidelines to be safe.
Codes of Ethics can be found on line for both ACA and NJ/LPCs.
Hope this helps.
May your evening be filled with light and love,
Roberto
ACACode Of Ethics.

institution) thatprovides counseling services do not refer clients to their
privatepractice unless the policies of a particular organization makeexplicit
provisions for self-referrals. In such instances, theclients must be informed
of other options open to them should theyseek private counseling services"
NJ/LPCCode Of Ethics

Good afternoon,
This is off topic, but I'm hoping you might be able to help me contact someone
from the NJCA. I have tried to reach them via the website, but the number
listed is no longer valid and no one has responded to my email submission.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Stay safe ~ CJ
