This tour is a great way to connect with the heart of Georgia’s government while being part of an influential advocacy day.

Information Tables

Throughout the Capitol, information tables will be set up to provide both politicians and LPCs with valuable insights into our profession. These tables will offer educational materials about the history of LPCs in Georgia, the services we provide, and the critical role we play in the state’s mental health system. This is an excellent opportunity to engage with lawmakers and provide them with the knowledge they need to fully understand the importance of LPCs in their constituencies.

LPC Day at the Capitol is your chance to make a difference. Together, we will raise awareness, advocate for change, and ensure that Georgia’s leaders understand the essential role professional counselors play in shaping the future of mental health care.
