About the CCPA Student Representative Program
The Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) Student Representative Program supports graduate students in counselling and related programs to engage with their professional community while still in school. Student Reps act as liaisons between their academic institutions, fellow students, and the CCPA. They help share information about CCPA membership, events, and professional opportunities, and contribute to outreach efforts both on campus and nationally.
