Your input will help us improve the way we implement and communicate upcoming regulatory decisions for psychologists.

Your input will not be shared publicly but it will be viewable to:

• other psychologists participating in this process; and
• certain Community Services staff (see who's listening sidebar).

Only those with a link to this page can see it.

We shared this link with:

• anyone who registered as a psychologist in the Yukon last year;
• all Yukon-registered psychologists for this year;
• certain provisional psychologists who have contacted our office; and
• psychologists who you referred us to.

If you would like to share your input, but would prefer to send it directly to us, you can do that here.

We'll share results of this engagement with you once it's over, as well as our plans for next steps.

We routinely send out information to registered psychologists in emailed newsletters. If you have a better idea for how you'd like to get information from us, we'd love to hear it.

The Psychologists Advisory Committee and the Registrar's office are finalizing a pathway for provisional psychologists and determining educational standards for all registered psychologists. Their next task will be reviewing the Psychologists Standards of Practice.

The Psychologists Advisory Committee, as well as inter-jurisdictional research, legal frameworks and internal policy research, all help the Registrar make informed decisions.

The Psychologists Advisory Committee helps the Registrar make informed decisions on regulating the profession. The committee is providing advice to the Registrar on:

• a pathway for new psychologists to practice in the Yukon;
• a pathway for psychologists to remove the non-disciplinary condition from their certificate; and
• improving the Standards of Practice, including reviewing the standards on telehealth.

The committee will work on these issues by:

• meeting to discuss issues;
• conducting research and learning; and
• delivering advice to the Registrar.
