The Military & Government Counseling Association (MGCA) is a division of the American Counseling Association dedicated to advancing guidance, counseling, and education within military and government communities. Building on the foundation established under MECA, MGCA’s mission has evolved to be more inclusive, supporting professionals who serve active duty and retired members of the Armed Services, their families, and civilian employees of the Department of Defense, and personnel across local, state, and federal government agencies.
