Good afternoon, I hope you are having a great semester so far! The International Association for Wellness Counseling (IAWC) is currently in the process of becoming a new American Counseling Association (ACA) Organizational Affiliate and Division. Can you please share this brief IAWC membership interest survey with faculty, students (doctoral and master's level), and alumni? If they can complete the survey by the end of next week (October 18th) that would be great. I will provide a complete overview of current progress and additional information to those that are interested soon.
Here is the survey link, thanks:
