The Act has received Royal Assent and is now law. It's been a long journey of advocacy & we are so proud of our diverse members. Thank you for making this a priority and seeing it through. Looking forward to the coming months & creation of a new college of Counselling Therapy.

FACT-AB was established to advocate for regulation of the profession in AB. In order for a college to be established, we were asked by the provincial government to create a single association, ACTA. To learn more about next steps visit: acta-alberta.ca #abpoli

We agree that mental health and wellness depends on not only training professionals included in this bill, but natural helpers we all rely in in every space and every part of our life span.

Watching the debate on Bill 30 - need to clarify: FACT-AB has been inviting CACCF to join us for the past 3 years. They were not interested. This has not impeded our ability to consider their members needs, however, as two of their members sit on the FACT-AB steering committee.

Yesterday, @shoffmanAB introduced legislation that would create a new College of Counselling Therapy to regulate counselling professionals. This will ensure that Albertans are seeking help from qualified professionals & receive safe & effective counselling services. #regulation
Sarah Hoffman@shoffmanAB

For too long, Albertans looking for a therapist or private substance-use treatment facility have been left to figure it out on their own. Today I introduced legislation that would take away the guesswork, helping families get the safe, competent care they need with peace of mind.
