Register for the College’s NEW interactive webinar series, Coffee with the College!
The College is pleased to invite all registrants to join our new interactive webinar series, Coffee with the College.
The first session will be held on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, from noon to 1 p.m.
Hosted by the Professional Practice Team, this engaging lunch and learn discussion will explore some of the most common ethical and practice dilemmas that registrants encounter.
The webinar series will focus on recent trends in practice inquiries, including private practice and psychotherapy, professional incorporation, cross-jurisdictional practice and mandatory reporting and confidentiality. Registrants will also have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in live consultations with the Professional Practice staff, with guidance from College resources and the Standards of Practice to provide further insights.
Coffee with the College aims to support and strengthen registrants’ competent and ethical practice, and the series will continue throughout 2024 and into 2025. Information on upcoming dates and times will be shared shortly.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to enhance your practice. We look forward to seeing you there!

Call for proposals from the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services
Sent on behalf of the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services
The Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) has launched a call for proposals for new community-based projects that support survivors of gender-based violence. These initiatives will focus on preventing violence through education and awareness, building safer, healthier communities and enhancing well-being and economic opportunities for individuals and families.
Organizations with innovative projects or approaches that help prevent or address gender-based violence are invited to apply. The province will invest in projects that respond to the needs of local communities in four key areas:
- Education and awareness
- Early intervention and prevention
- Community planning and service integration
- Economic security and financial independence
The call for proposals is open until October 11, 2024, at 5 p.m. EST. More information on how to apply can be found here.
