Court: Licensed counselor not needed for health center
Legal News Feed
The West Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that a domestic violence counseling center can be considered a behavioral health center by the state government, even though it's not staffed by a licensed counselor.
Justices on Wednesday issued a unanimous opinion overturning a Kanawha County judge's ruling in the case, the Charleston Gazette-Mail reported. Kanawha County Chief Circuit Judge Jennifer Bailey had earlier upheld an administrative decision denying the Domestic Violence Survivors' Support Group application to be considered a behavioral health center.
The nonprofit center, which is doing business as the Domestic Violence Counseling Center, provides counseling to victims of domestic violence.
