🚨 BIG CHANGES = BIGGER RISKS 🚨

Here’s what’s changing:
• Supervised clinical training reduced by up to 75%
• Oral exam removed
• Ethics exam now no-fail
• Accreditation standards dropped
• Practice areas & client groups collapsed or eliminated

Why it matters: Psychologists work with vulnerable individuals—including children, neurodivergent clients, and people in crisis.

Less training = higher risk of misdiagnosis, harm, and lower-quality care.

Some changes to psychology training in Ontario are too risky to rush.

❌ Moving Ontario to the lowest standards in the country
❌ Cuts to real-world training & fewer checks
❌ Collapsing practice areas

We need better solutions—training and licensing changes should build, not erode, public trust.

🚨 CALL TO ACTION 🚨
The CPBAO has voted to reduce training standards for psychologists—without clear evidence or public consultation.

This isn’t about access. It’s about accountability.

We all want better access and diversity in mental health care—but lowering registration requirements isn’t the solution. Investing in training pipelines and supervision support is.

Psychologists make decisions that shape legal, medical, educational, and mental-health outcomes. Cutting training requirements doesn’t improve access—it increases risk.

Lower standards won’t shorten waitlists.
Competent, well-trained psychologists will.

There is no shortcut to experience.

Ontarians deserve quality psychological care, not lowered standards.

The proposed changes to the CPBAO drastically reduce training, remove essential safeguards, and risk public safety. Cutting supervision hours, exams, and practice area oversight is not the path to increasing access.

There are better solutions:
• Improve training pathways
• Expand funded PsyD programs
• Strengthen public-sector psychology roles
• Create consistent national standards

Your voice matters. Fill out the CPBAO survey and share your feedback.

When standards drop, public safety suffers.

On World Mental Health Day, take a moment to check in with yourself and those around you.

Ask:
🧠 How am I really feeling today?
💬 Who might need a little extra support?
☀️ What small act of care can I offer myself right now?

Every conversation, every pause, and every act of kindness makes a difference.

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we wear orange to honour Survivors, their families, and communities. We encourage everyone to take time today to learn more about the history and ongoing impacts of colonialism on Indigenous communities. 🧡

Wearing orange is one way to honour the truth. To take the next step, we encourage you to learn more about Canada’s colonial history and the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Learn more here: https://nctr.ca/publications-and-reports/reports/
