Mission & Vision
ACA Mission Statement
The mission of the American Counseling Association is to
enhance the quality of life in society by promoting the
development of professional counselors, advancing the
counseling profession, and using the profession and practice of
counseling to promote respect for human dignity and diversity.
Definition of Counseling
On October 28, 2010, the ACA Governing Council approved a new definition of counseling, per the
recommendation of the 20/20: A Vision for the Future of Counseling program. The definition, which may be
customized for counseling specialties is:
Counseling is a professional relationship that
empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups
to accomplish mental health, wellness, education,
and career goals.

One volunteer from each group will be your group’s representative.
