Reviewed by KW Life Care Planning Editorial Team

Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) is a national certification, not a Guam license.

How the credential is weighed in Guam

The CRC is the national certification for rehabilitation counselors. In life care planning it is one of the qualifying credentials for CLCP certification and supports the plan's coverage of rehabilitation services, assistive technology, community reintegration, supported living, and the day-program and vocational services that adults with disabilities use across the life span.

Civil claims in Guam are tried in the Superior Court of Guam. Workers' compensation claims are administered by the Department of Labor's Workers' Compensation Commission, and tertiary care not available on-island is priced for off-island travel.

Outside the civil courts, the Guam Department of Labor, Workers' Compensation Commission is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Guam. KW Life Care Planning CRC-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for Guam's practice environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the CRC a license or a certification?

The CRC is a national certification administered by CRCC. It is distinct from state licensure, though many states also license professional or rehabilitation counselors separately.

Why does a life care planner hold a CRC?

The CRC is one of the recognized entry credentials to CLCP certification, and its training in disability, rehabilitation services, and community resources supports the non-medical sections of a life care plan such as supported living, day programs, and assistive technology.

Do courts require a specific credential to testify on a life care plan?

No single credential is mandated. Qualification is assessed case by case on education, training, and experience, and the CRC combined with life care planning certification is widely accepted.

How often must a CRC renew?

Every five years, with documented continuing education meeting CRCC's requirements.
