Come
advocate for your profession!
The Coalition of Illinois
Counselor Organizations (CICO) sponsors this day of advocacy for
counseling graduate students and professional counselors.
The Counselor Day on the Hill is
an opportunity to learn about the legislative process and to
advocate for counselor interests with Illinois legislators. There
are opportunities to speak directly to your state Senator and
Representative armed with information provided by CICO advocating
for counselors in Illinois.
In the morning we start off with
an introduction and a training to let you know what to expect and
in-depth knowledge on the information you have been provided,
lunch will be provided by CICO, and then we will head to the
Capitol to meet with legislators and observe the process. At the
end of the day we will reconvene to debrief, turn in leftover
materials, and celebrate our efforts of the day!
This is a great opportunity for
graduate students, counselor educators and professional
counselors from throughout Illinois to advocate for mental health
legislation, school counseling concerns, and help the voice of
counselors to be heard.
ICA and all Division members, as
well as non-member counselors, graduate students, and educators
are welcome.
