  • Creating and delivering educational, collaborative, or consultative services related to student mental health or broad mental health initiatives to faculty and staff;
  • Contributing to Wellness and Psychological Services program evaluation, development, and improvement;
  • Remaining familiar and in adherence with the Health Professions Act, Health Information Act, Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, CAP/ACSW Standards of Practice, Canadian Code of Ethics/CASW Code of Ethics and Guideline for Ethical Practice, and the CAP Practice Guidelines for Psychologists; and
  • Optionally, participating in research or scholarly activities that advance knowledge in a Member's field/discipline.
