This regulation is essential for ensuring qualified professionals are providing counselling & mental health services in Alberta, and that there are standards of practice, a code of ethics and discipline for counsellors who may breach them. It is ALSO an essential step to have insurance companies cover counselling services as part of a benefits package. Albertans need and deserve this.

Why won’t the Alberta Government pass this legislation?!? 😖 Visit https://www.acta-alberta.ca to learn more and to send a letter to your MLA!!
Thank you…I promise it matters💚

The Alberta government has delayed proclamation of a regulation to create a professional college for counselling therapists, including those who work with children, youth and addictions treatment, but won't say why.
