No April Fools’ joke here! We’d love for you to gather with us and other fellow counselors for a lovely Sunset Social. 🌅 This is an evening of community and networking, and we hope you’ll join us!

Dr. Gerard Lawson is back on March 6 with another great training and CE-earning opportunity! Counselor supervision is a crucial component of this field, but quality trainings can be hard to find. Dr. Lawson aims to bridge that gap by equipping attendees with knowledge and skills rooted in evidence-based supervision practices.

In addition, all attendees will be entered into raffles to win a year of LACA membership, coffee gift cards, LACA apparel, and MORE!
