"Zero foundation, not limited to majors", "I have applied for the exam, but I will return the money", "Easy part-time work, monthly income of tens of thousands" ......With the increase in the demand for psychological counseling, many training institutions have smelled business opportunities and carried out psychological counselor training business for the society. And such a low-threshold, or even full-fledged training, not only can not solve people's worries, but cause people to worry. First of all, the psychological counseling industry is a non-access occupation, and the psychological counselor training certificate is not equivalent to the "qualification certificate". Some institutions exaggerate the propaganda with the gimmick of "easy entry" and "guaranteed employment", but in reality, it is not very possible to find a satisfactory job in the industry with only a certificate with very low gold content. Taking a step back, even if it is really possible to get a certificate to work, there is still a big question mark about whether the psychological counselor who has passed the assembly line can help the counselor to smooth out the confusion. If you turn "worry" into "flickering" under the banner of professionalism, it will only bury greater mental health risks for patients.
In China, there has been a shortage of psychological and counseling talents delivered through academic education, which has led to all kinds of chaos in psychological counseling training. Only by further improving the training and management mechanisms of psychological service institutions and personnel, and preventing the indiscriminate use of "water" psychological counselors, can we truly promote the healthy development of the mental health industry.
