CALL FOR ACA ACCREDITED SUPERVISORS
At each monthly chapter meeting, we offer an hour of group supervision by ACA accredited supervisors (there is no charge for this, and our supervisors volunteer their time). However, this relies on just a few supervisors so that when 2 or 3 are on leave/unable to come, our numbers become very ‘thin’. So, we actually need more of you to come along and participate as a group supervisor.
If you wish to support your state chapter and find out more about this, please give me a call/email.
As you can see, our ACA WA chapter is alive and very active!

6th Asia Pacific Rim Confederation of Counsellors Conference
As you would be aware, this conference (27-29 September 2019) is being jointly hosted by ACA, the American Counseling Association and the Asia Pacific Rim Confederation of Counsellors.
What you may not be aware of is that Cindy Cranswick, from our ACA WA chapter, is presenting a workshop at this conference. The title is ‘“Self-compassion therapy for the treatment and prevention of Perinatal mental health issues”.
I will also be participating in the conference so…it would be great to have a strong WA presence at this conference. Who is up for it?.
As you can see, our ACA WA chapter is alive and very active! We have a full calendar for 2018 and I have even been approached by people offering to present in 2020!
