Rehabilitation Counselling is indeed a unique and vital profession.
Our primary goal is to support individuals facing disability, injury, or social disadvantage, along with their families, organisations, and fellow health professionals, in achieving work, life, and career solutions.
To become a Rehabilitation Counsellor, one must have tertiary qualifications from an accredited program. Continuous professional development is also essential to maintain our membership and stay updated in this dynamic field.
However, it's disheartening to see some members of other allied health professions attempting to undermine or minimize our profession. When individuals with disabilities or injuries seek employment, WE are the experts in this area, regardless of what others may think or say.
For those who choose to belittle our profession, I wonder: What motivates this?
When you meet a Rehabilitation Counsellor, you'll encounter someone incredibly passionate, creative, knowledgeable, and laser-focused on our clients' needs.
Recently, I was made aware of hurtful sentiments about our profession. It's disappointing that some people don't understand who we are and what we do, let alone the immense value we bring to our clients, organisations, and the entire allied health landscape, OR perhaps they do and that's the point!
I, along with others will continue to advocate for the essential role of Rehabilitation Counsellors and raise awareness about our incredible contributions. Together, we can ensure that everyone recognises the significance of our profession in transforming lives.
