Description

The National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) is a not-for-profit, independent certification organization whose primary purposes are to establish and monitor a national certification system, and to identify those counselors who have voluntarily sought and obtained board certification. The organizational mission is to advance counseling as the premier certification body of the profession with a vision of enhancing society worldwide through quality counseling. NBCC and Affiliates is comprised of three organizational affiliates: the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE), and the NBCC Foundation (NBCC-F).

NBCC and Affiliates has operations and partnerships in 40 countries providing certification, training programs, and public health services through institutes and residencies. Over 66,000 Board Certified Counselors serve the public and advance mental health efforts across the globe. With a portfolio of nine credentials related to professional counseling, mental health, addictions, human services and career development, NBCC and Affiliates seeks to expand the professional capacity of counselors and human service professionals. NBCC is focused specifically on credentialing, certification and quality assurance, while CCE focuses on providing education and training opportunities and leveraging credentials to best serve communities. Additionally, CCE provides organizational management services for associations, boards and other management clients. The NBCC Foundation engages in capacity building, seeking to expand access to mental health services in underserved and never-served communities and increase the accessibility of high quality professional development resources for counselors.

NBCC FOUNDATION AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DIVISION

The Foundation and Professional Services Division leverages the power of counseling by strategically focusing resources for positive change with the goal of improving the mental health of the underserved and never-served throughout the world. The Division's primary objectives are to increase the number of Board Certified Counselors and Mental Health Facilitators working with high-priority populations, to engage them in becoming innovators of counseling practices that benefit the underserved and to provide professional resources for counselors. Scholarships, fellowships, capacity-building grants and open-source publications are the primary tools for accomplishing the Division's objectives.

The Division is comprised of four departments: the NBCC Foundation, Professional Resources, Community Capacity, and International Capacity Building. The Foundation's strategy is to award scholarships to individuals pursuing careers as professional counselors who are affiliated with high-priority populations and who commit to serving them after graduation. Capacity-building grants fund expansion efforts to increase mental health resources in rural and minority communities where access to mental health care is extremely limited. Scholars and Fellows also participate in NBCC Foundation-sponsored trainings and receive other academic and professional supports to expand effective practice in their communities. The Professional Resources department produces high quality open source resources for use by counselors and other mental health professionals. The International Capacity Building department is focused on increasing access to counselor and mental health resources in developing countries.
