Who We Are

• ACCT – Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists

• CASC - Canadian Association for Spiritual Care - Manitoba Region

• CATA - Canadian Art Therapy Association

• CCPA - Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association

• CEATA – Canadian Expressive Arts Therapy Association

• CPCA - Canadian Professional Counsellors Association

• MTAM - Music Therapy Association of Manitoba

• PACCP - Professional Association of Christian Counsellors and Psychotherapists

• NADTA - North American Drama Therapists Association

• RAFT- Relational and Family Therapists of Manitoba

Collectively this group of associations represents over 800 practitioners delivering counselling therapy services to Manitobans.

FACT-MB came together in 2016 from a group that had been concerned about the need for regulation of Counselling Therapy and had been meeting under various titles since 2013. We joined with other FACT committees across Canada who were also seeking regulation. FACT-Manitoba’s Executive Board consists of a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer,  Indigenous Consultant, and a Communications Director. In addition, there are representatives and alternates from 10 associations of counselling therapists with a variety of specializations. The Executive members are members of the committee. FACT-Manitoba represents a varied group of professional psychotherapists and counsellors, as well as students.
