I want to say thank you so much for helping me grow in my profession as a counselor. You have shown me the impossible with the courses I continue to take towards my CAC1. Your classes are teaching me that it is OK to shift in my change and to not be afraid. I appreciate the opportunity to take the Online Cultural Competence course which is always needed when dealing with the population I serve today. I cant wait to see what next year brings me in this journey. Thank you for all that you do.
