2026 International ACAC Conference Session Proposal Form

What transforms a dedicated counselor into an innovator? Drawing from 15 years of building programs across China—from solo practitioner to leading teams of 15—this Chat explores the external conditions and internal mindsets that spark innovation, and how to move beyond one-off initiatives toward sustainable practice. Using real cases in program design and ethical leadership, I will offer a practical framework for identifying innovation triggers and embedding creative problem-solving into daily counseling work. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to cultivate both the spark and the system.
