Student Reps
CCPA has a Student Representative program at Canadian Universities that offer master's-level degrees in counselling or related field leading to certification. These Student Reps are available to contact if you have any questions about CCPA, its membership, and/or the profession. CCPA Student Reps act as liason and facilitate communication between the University, its students, the appropriate Provincial Director and CCPA. They engage in activities intended to inform students about the Association and the counselling profession. CCPA encourages and supports Student Reps to be actively involved with the students on campus, with the CCPA National Conference, and with CCPA's Student Newsletter.
