Psychologists make decisions that shape legal, medical, educational, and mental-health outcomes. Cutting training requirements doesn’t improve access—it increases risk.

Lower standards won’t shorten waitlists.
Competent, well-trained psychologists will.

There is no shortcut to experience.

Ontarians deserve quality psychological care, not lowered standards.

The proposed changes to the CPBAO drastically reduce training, remove essential safeguards, and risk public safety. Cutting supervision hours, exams, and practice area oversight is not the path to increasing access.

There are better solutions:
• Improve training pathways
• Expand funded PsyD programs
• Strengthen public-sector psychology roles
• Create consistent national standards

Your voice matters. Fill out the CPBAO survey and share your feedback.

When standards drop, public safety suffers.

Good morning! ☀️ Grab your coffee and join us for Day 2 of the caregiver workshop, where you'll perfect the skills in going from overwhelmed → empowered!

We can’t wait to see you for another day of learning, connection, and support.

On World Mental Health Day, take a moment to check in with yourself and those around you.

Ask:
🧠 How am I really feeling today?
💬 Who might need a little extra support?
☀️ What small act of care can I offer myself right now?

Every conversation, every pause, and every act of kindness makes a difference.
