2024 Colorado Counseling Association Annual and Foundations Student Conference

Event Date: 8/22/2024 - 8/23/2024

Event Overview

 

Please join us for the 2024 Annual Colorado Counseling Association Conference at the Keystone Resort & Conference Center. This event is expected to be the largest conference for counseling students and new, working, and retired professional counselors in Colorado.

The 2024 CCA Conference Lineup contains two events, both of which are currently accepting proposals through May 5th, 2024.

The Foundations Student Conference, uniquely for Students and Counselor Educators, will be held on August 21st, 2024, at the Keystone Resort. This event specifically targets counselors-in-training enrolled in mental health graduate programs. Event registration is restricted to students and counselor educators. However, there are no restrictions on who may submit a proposal. Proposals should directly support the training, development, and learning of counselors-in-training.

The Annual Conference will be held on August 22 – 23, 2024, at the Keystone Resort. This two day conference is open to all mental health professionals to attend and present at.

Our Annual and Foundations Conferences are much more than an educational opportunity for professional counselors. These events create a space to professionally develop, connect with others, be encouraged, and rest and reset. 

The CCA is proud to invite all mental health professionals to this opportunity of coming together to strengthen advocacy efforts, empower our clinical practice, and advance our profession. Your registration directly benefits the collective resources needed to strengthen the CCA's efforts to promote the identity and interests of professional counselors.
