Do You Need Professional Liability Insurance?

As a student in a counseling or related educational program, you have chosen to enter a profession which may involve interaction with people in sensitive, emotionally charged situations. In today's litigious society, people tend to file lawsuits even when allegations are unjustified.

Even as a student you are not exempt from being sued. Participation in the ACA Professional Liability Insurance Program helps protect you from financial devastation should you be sued.

The ACA Insurance Trust works with our insurance carriers to provide for you as a member of ACA the most economical rates possible. The Insurance Trust has arranged this coverage for two major reasons:

  • The belief that students entering a profession need to carry similar professional liability coverage that they will need as full-fledged members of the profession.
  • The belief that providing this coverage is the responsibility of a professional association toward its student members.
The ACA Insurance Trust has been providing insurance coverage for its members since 1974. During that time, thousands of professionals have come to rely on the Trust for protecting their livelihood, specifically, their ability to practice as a professional. The Trust has been instrumental in helping to protect and build the practice of professionals--and not just those who purchase liability insurance. The Trust has truly been a partner in professionalism through its support of workshops, seminars, speakers and projects that have benefited all professional counselors and related human service providers.

As the Trust has supported the professional, it also supports the student by making affordable liability coverage available to more than 10,000 graduate students each year. 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.
