This morning FACTBC submitted an Application Under Sections 7 and 10(1) of the Health Profession Act.
As of noon today, FACTBC had been copied on nearly 600 emails from counselling therapists, stakeholders, and concerned members of the public who have written in to their respective MLAs, Honorable Minister Adrian Dix, and/or Honorable Premier John Horgan. Thank you to everyone who demonstrated their support of the application by writing a letter. If you have not sent your letter to your MLA yet, it’s not too late!
We encourage you to reach out to at least four people, telling them about the need for regulating counselling therapy in BC. Here’s a short video to share: https://vimeo.com/487950357 .
Bethany Lindsay posted a fantastic article this morning: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-therapists-counsellors-regulation-application-1.5829946
You can expect more media coverage on regulating counselling therapy on CBC, Fairchild Radio, Vancouver Co-op Radio, CityTV and more, today or later this week.
We invite you to follow FACTBC’s social media accounts: Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/RegulateCounsellingBC), Instagram (https://instagram.com/factbc/) , and Twitter (https://twitter.com/FACTBC) and share the graphics, article links, and videos.
Would you be able to post the application online so that people could have a read? If so, thank you.
