Today's
Coalition is the culmination of a long history of political
efforts on the part of Oregon mental health care professionals
to gain licensure and to achieve fairness in the health care
marketplace.
Barclay
M. Brasted, LPC, of Eugene, has outlined this history in A
Chronology of Oregon Legislative Efforts
Toward LPC/LMFT Licensure and Vendorship Recognition, 1981-2007.
Legislative
activities for 2008 are summarized in an article by Mary Lou
Brophy to appear in future updates of this website.
