Why I Joined CACBT- A Member’s Perspective

I've been a certified CACBT member since 2017. My first exposure to the organization came from attending the annual conference back in 2014. I thought the conference was so well done and I learned a ton from the great speakers there. I still refer to some of the slides from that conference.  

Outside of certification, the CACBT community and ongoing learning opportunities are two of the additional perks that have come with being a CACBT member. Whether it's through webinars, the annual conference or the discussion forum, having a wider connection to the CBT community in Canada has been enriching for my clinical work and professional development.

Members also have the opportunity to get more involved in the organization by sitting on the board of directors or by participating in one of the committees offered. I've done both and can say that I've enjoyed these experiences.

The organization continues to work towards expanding its reach and I hope to see the membership base continue to grow.
