This is a crazy BC Supreme Court Civil decision. BC social service agencies are referring the vulnerable to this BCACC instead of my regulated professional body. How do we fix this?

🇨🇦 Hi Jennifer. I am very concerned that all #BCCrisisLine contacts are being refered to #Unregulated counsellors who have paid memberships in the #BCACC non-profit society instead of to #Regulated Mental Health Professionals. Can you recommend someone that I can contact about this?

This is extremely odd since the Crime VictimAssistance Regulation only allows payment for counselling services to #Regulated HealthProfessionals like #Registered Social Workers and Psychologists.
And the #BCACC has been falsly claiming to be a #Regulatory body.

This is not a time to get political about the lack of Counselling regulation. I understand completely. BCACC & CCPA have been advocating, pressuring the Government since the early 90’s for regulation. The process has been both frustrating & complicated. Bc CrisisLines are a valuable resource.
