I have been an active member of CAPT for 16 years. CAPT is a member driven organization and welcomes participation and input from every member. The CAPT Board of Directors and Board Committees work throughout the year on our behalf to advocate around professional issues from a psychodynamic perspective, to keep us informed and educated through an invaluable monthly newsletter and to ensure we receive access to comprehensive insurance coverage at affordable rates. CAPT has provided a number of highly effective workshops and ongoing support for members navigating the college registration process and working to become familiar with new regulatory requirements. Serving on the Advocacy and Outreach Committee was a great opportunity for me to learn about changes to our profession, about CAPT’s unique contribution to the process, and to get to know and network with colleagues.
