RGC's Needed in Lyceum-Laguna

Here is a clearer email on this need for Registered Guidance Counselors in Lyceum o the Philippines-Laguna. Until the matter on the Guidance Counselor being licensed was included, I kept it from being posted. While there are quite a few RGCs in the Philippines (1,952 as per last count mentioned during our meeting with the Board of Guidance and Counseling), the job title of Guidance Counselor now requires the license either through the Grandfather's Clause or through passing the Board exams. Without the license, the person doing Guidance Counselor work and the institution risk the ire of the law. I hope we can map out a way to increase this number in the next few years so that we can afford the services to our own people.

Happy Reading! God bless

IPCAP-FPCAP 1st Partnership Convention

Finally, our application for accreditation of the IPCAP-FPCAP 1st Partnership Convention on Nov. 18-20, 2010 as a CPE Event/Source/Activity has been accepted at the PRC just this afternoon, Oct. 18. We have applied for 21 credit units for this event which many have requested to be accredited for CPE credit units. Please see the invitation below. I had it printed in short bond for blogging purposes, although the original is in long bond.

After submitting the requirements for this activity to be accredited for 21 credit units, I went to the scheduled meeting with other heads of guidance-related organizations. We had met before with the same group. Who showed up? Current CDAP President Mari Jose and PACERS Chair Dr. Barbie Wong-Fernandez, and myself as Chair of the IPCAP. All three are PRC-accredited CPE Providers for the Guidance and Counseling profession. There are currently six organizations accredited by the PRC as CPE Providers. The meeting was basically meant to help in the professionalization process we are going through in Guidance & Counseling in the Philippines.

This may be really an interesting process we're going through, given the fact that the current group of practicing licensed Registered Guidance Counselors comes in varied types (I'd rather keep the matter to myself for the moment although it is common knowledge in the field how some got their licenses!). It thus becomes clear that even with the license, competence remains something to improve in. Hence, as strongly advocated in the last meeting at the Far Eastern University, RGCs have to choose which activities can best address their competency needs so they can practice with confidence and utmost professionalism.

Hence, this upcoming IPCAP-FPCAP 1st Partnership Convention may be relevant to RGCs because our clientele may be into situations which the plenary discussions will deal with. Do you have clients who have significant others in the hospice? Or clients who are in the call centers or maybe have siblings/parents there? Or still, have parents who are in the military? What about if one works in the prison ministry - how to do Counseling in there? The challenges are many that await us RGCs.

The workshops also appear very promising - both for practitioners and clients as well. Feel welcome to join us in the Convention. RGCs, be not afraid to become members of IPCAP. Your membership will go a long way in terms of benefits and bonding with fellow Registered Guidance Counselors!
