As an association supporting mental health, we value all helping professions and that all are necessary within the healthcare ecosystem. Over the past few years, BCPA has advanced the public, private, and governmental discussion of the necessity of a robust and varied set of mental and behavioural health team members.
While all members of the team are important, it is important for us to help communicate to the public how those in the mental health field in various positions can be differentiated and uniquely contribute to a care team. Therefore, the BCPA Advocacy Committee has created an infographic that we plan on publicizing to help educate the public and other professionals about the difference between psychologists, psychiatrists, and counsellors in BC.
We welcome your feedback on the proposed infographic the BCPA advocacy committee has created.
