Additionally, the workshop highlights the operational and clinical impacts of the Counseling Compact, demonstrating how multi-state licensure portability supports continuity of care during academic breaks and remote study. Finally, attendees will explore clinical scope and assessment to identify suitable presenting concerns for teletherapy and tailor engaging virtual interventions that meet college students’ evolving needs.
