ACAM counselors have a wide variety of specialties, include marriage and family therapy, clinical mental health, substance abuse, school and college counseling, disability and vocational rehabilitation, career development, trauma and grief counseling, geriatric and pediatric counseling, business and personal coaching, psychotherapy for personal growth, as well as other specialties.
ACAM is a state branch of The American Counseling Association, www.counseling.org.

This September 27, ACAM, ACAM-KC, and The University of Missouri at Kansas City will be sponsoring an all-day seminar on substance abuse issues at UMKC.
Carl Dawson, LPC, who has upwards of 30 years experience in this field, will be presenting on two subjects: Morning topic will be The Psychopharmacology of Substance Abuse, and in the afternoon, PTSD and the Substance Abusing Person will be the focus.
Each presentation will qualify for three CEUs. You can download a description of the presentations here, as well as a bio of Mr. Dawson and a seminar registration form.
As usual, ACAM members and student members will receive significant discounts for this CEU event--namely, the amount of their annual membership fee. For this reason you may want to consider joining or re-joining ACAM at this time. You can do this on the website (the "Join or Renew" button), or by downloading a membership form here. |
