[humanser] mental health counseling

CPR isn't required for much but it's not a bad skill to have. I should refresh my training.

>> Hello,
>> I am interested in eventually going back to school to study counseling.  I'm from Ohio.  Therefore, I was wondering if I will need CPR courses.  I had to take it when I was a summer camp counselor and it was really a struggle for me, so if I choose mental health counseling, can I avoid the CPR? Also, will I need sign language? I'm totally blind, so these two classes would cause me a lot of stress.  Therefore, for those of you who are counselors, will I need to go through CPR again or can I get an exemption because of my blindness? I would not go into a hospital to practice, maybe I would open my own practice or work for an agency that specializes exclusively in mental health.
