About CCA |
When CCA all began ...In October 1927, the first Guidance Conference in Connecticut was held on October 28, 1927 at Hartford Public High School.
One year later in October 1928, The New England Vocational Guidance Association was petitioned by 20 members in Connecticut and the Connecticut Branch was born. CCA is a branch of the American Counseling AssociationFour independent associations convened a joint convention in Los Angeles, CA in 1952 in hopes of providing a larger professional voice. They established the American Personnel and Guidance Association (APGA), later changing names in 1983 to the American Association of Counseling and Development. On July 1, 1992, the association changed its name to the American Counseling Association (ACA) to reflect the common bond among association members and to reinforce their unity of purpose.
