Where the professions meet
Bilingual practice can be isolating: culturally complex cases, few peers for supervision, no map for the career path. ACMHP is the cross-professional table: psychologists, social workers and counsellors side by side, with bilingual peer supervision, CPD, a referral network and career community. And together we do something bigger: bringing our professions back to the communities we came from. For depth in psychology there's ACHPA; in social work, ACSW; where the professions meet, there's ACMHP.
