The College is pleased to invite registrants to participate in the following interactive events to support their practice:
Join us for an informational session on the revised Practice Guidelines for Consent and Confidentiality with Children and Youth
As mentioned in an eBulletin on December 3, 2025, the Practice Guidelines for Consent and Confidentiality with Children and Youth have been updated to reflect current practice and provide specific guidance to registrants. The revised Practice Guidelines can be accessed on the College’s website.
The December eBulletin also invited registrants to register for an informational webinar on January 12, 2026, to go over the updates. Interest was extremely high, and registration capacity for the webinar was quickly reached.
For those who were unable to secure a spot for the live webinar:
We will be hosting a separate viewing event of the webinar recording on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, from 1:00-2:30 p.m. EST. Following the viewing of the recording, Professional Practice staff will be on hand to respond to registrants’ questions.
Registration for the viewing event is not required; to join, click on the following link on Wednesday, February 11 at 1:00 p.m.:
The webinar recording will also be posted on the College’s website following the February 11 viewing event for those who are unable to attend.
For those who were able to register for the live webinar on January 12:
The webinar will proceed as scheduled. Because the February 11 viewing session will be a recording of the same webinar, you do not need to join this later event.
We appreciate your understanding and your continued engagement with the College. We look forward to connecting with you—either live or through the recording.
