We are a group of Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) who have been working over the past two years to address the following questions:
- How do Registered Psychotherapists gain inclusion into the mental health benefits from third-party payers?
- How do we, as registered professionals, acquire the same “covered” status as other registered professionals such as Registered Psychologists and MSWs?
Our working group, representing a cross-section of professional organizations, has been doing the research and outreach to begin to address this question. Within this website you will find the tools to join in the movement to claim our place at the table as important contributors to the efforts toward addressing our Canadian mental health crisis.
UPDATE:
- The RPIC has gathered new information regarding employers who include RPs in their benefit packages. We want to share this information with you.
- BUT…we are vetting all of the information before posting it because we want to be 100% sure that the information is accurate, and that the employer gives us permission. We feel a tremendous responsibility to be professional and report with total accuracy.
Please take the time to peruse our site. The information found here is for you and your clients, to join in the effort to help us achieve this important goal. Together makes it happen faster… we want to hear from you! We believe psychotherapy matters!
