The Association for the Coordination of Counseling Center Clinical Services (ACCCCS) was formed in November, 1996 when a group of clinical services coordinators and clinical services directors representing colleges and universities from around the country met at The Ohio State University to discuss common interests and concerns.
Membership in the association is open to any staff member in a college or university counseling center who is directly responsible for coordinating the clinical service aspect of the agencys services, including the day-to-day coordination and implementation of those clinical services. Currently, directors, associate directors, assistant directors, coordinators, and staff members hold membership in the association. The aim of the association is to be inclusive and welcoming of all persons in counseling centers with responsibility for coordination of clinical services.
