Do You Need Professional Liability Insurance?

ACA is now providing *eligible ACA student members with professional liability("i.e. malpractice") insurance. That's right; your ACA Student membership now includes liability insurance when you are *enrolled and engaged in a master's - degree counseling curriculum at a post- secondary institution. Coverage is available to ACA student members only while they are performing counseling services (i.e., practicum and internship) related to such curriculum.

Unfortunately, students enrolled in a bachelors, doctoral, or any other postmaster's degree program are not covered. If you are in either of these programs, don't worry there is a program available to you. Call ACAIT at 800-347-6647, ext. 284, for more information.

In an effort to provide you with proof of your "Evidence of Insurance," ACA has asked that you update your membership student program level status by logging on to the members-only section of the ACA Web site at www.counseling.org. Enter your username and password. Once logged in, select "Manage Membership," then "Student Information (change)," and proceed to updating your student educational information: school name, graduation date, and current program level (master's, doctoral, or other [unspecified]). If you do not know your username and password or if you wish to update your profile by phone, please contact ACA Member Services at 800-347-6647, ext. 222/703-823-9800, ext. 222 (M-F, 8 am - 7 pm, ET).

Distribution of the "Evidence of Insurance" will be mailed to you when your current program level has been updated.

The Trust is committed to the student with support for your role as an emerging professional in the field of counseling or related educational program.
