This year, the AASCB Annual Conference boldly goes where few have gone before, exploring "The New Frontier in Mental Health Counseling." Rapid advances in technology and an evolving landscape of counseling practices have resulted in state boards facing unprecedented challenges—and opportunities—in regulating for public safety while supporting innovation. With sessions ranging from ethics and counseling compacts to the evolving role of supervision, this conference will provide the latest insights, best practices, and ample networking opportunities to equip you for regulatory leadership. Together, we’ll engage with the most current research, explore strategies for effective oversight, participate in lively discussions, and beam up fresh ideas that will advance our field. Join us as we navigate these new frontiers with insight, integrity, and a touch of adventure. Live long and regulate!
