WA: Professional Development
Newsletter September 2008
At our last meetings on 5 June and 7 August 2008, there was a strong consensus that our Western Australian branch is now ready for more connections and ready to move to the next level of influence within our state of WA.
So … this is what we've organised for the next six months….
Thanksgiving Brunch
Saturday 8 November 2008 at 10 am at Fauntleroy House.
Teresa D’Amato will be our guest speaker offering a session of Professional Development, and we will be celebrating our Thanksgiving Brunch on the Verandah.
You might have wondered what is the relevance of Fauntleroy House. Genevieve and Peter Milnes have bought an amazing graceful bed and breakfast in order to offer couples counselling and retreats. More on this one soon…
Promotion of CCAAWA
Currently we are approaching various christian tertiary educational institutions to promote our service and to share knowledge and expertise.
Professional Development
We’ve thought long and hard that Professional Development is extremely important and we have nominated one of our committee members to organise that for the remainder of the year. We are running a Professional Development event at Belmont Counselling Clinic with Rosemary Watkins on Monday 27th October, from 7pm – 9pm. Topic: Family Systems Therapy. Please register your attendance to CCAA (WA) care of Belmont Counselling Clinic on 9277 6060.
National Conference
The National Conference is coming up in Melbourne 2009.
Negotiations with PACFA re: Medicare
At present, we are involved with PACFA in negotiating how we as Professional counsellors and psychologists can also receive Medicare status.
Supervision
Genevieve has kindly offered group supervision which has already commenced. It is held on a Monday 12-2pm at Belmont Counselling Clinic.
And finally we want to hear from you
We want to know what you value about CCAWA and what you would like to see happen. We really appreciate your feedback, as it helps us to do things better.
Looking forward to hearing from you…
