In May the California Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (CAADAC) met with Department of Consumer Affairs Chief Deputy Director, Sherry Mehl, to discuss options for bringing professional counselors under the Department’s review. “The Department of Consumer Affairs is where professionals are regulated and that is where we have to start,” explained CAADAC President, Warren Daniels. “Sherry Mehl is the former Executive Director of the Board of Behavioral Science and was instrumental in pushing for an objective review of competency for our field the year before Proposition 36 was passed by the voters.”
