Welcome to PACCC

The Professional Association of Canadian Christian Counsellors (PACCC) came into being through some pioneering work by Christian counselors in Manitoba and Saskatchewan in the early 1990’s. In 1993 a group of about 15 Christian counselors met in Winnipeg to explore the possibility of establishing an association. This would be a forum for supporting and building one another up, facilitating continuing education opportunities and providing ethical oversight for members. This lead to the birth of a small provincial association that addressed these goals and soon added to its mandate facilitating access to professional liability insurance for its members. The Canadian Psychological Association generously helped in providing a guiding template for an ethical code and practice guidelines. Christian counselors in Saskatchewan and later those in Alberta followed suit in creating their provincial associations. These provincial bodies were successful at providing a local identity for the profession, but more was envisioned.

Message from the President...Chris Papastamos

Greetings,

Firstly let me say that I am greatful and it has been my pleasure to belong to the Professional Association of Canadian Christian Counsellors. Being part of this association has afforded me the opportunity to be part of a field that I completely enjoy working in, while maintaining and integrating distinct values and beliefs I may otherwise not be able to do so in other associations. As a certified member I have also enjoyed, appreciated, and valued the networking and collaboration that takes place with like minded clinicians. I also appreciate the work that PACCC has done in the past to promote its members, seeking ways to have it's members recognized as highly trained, professional clinicians within the mental health community. I am also thankful that PACCC also seeks to achieve and maintain the highest possible level of integrity, proficiency, and professionalism for its members. In light of this I am looking forward to assisting in any possible way I can within the role as President. Read more...
