Crossing Bridges in British Columbia
by Debi Smith, PsyD
Regional Director
A number of mental health professionals gathered for
lunch at the White Spot Restaurant in Vancouver to meet
the West Regional Director and to talk about the future
of CAPS in British Columbia. Marisol McRae, a member of
the West Board of Directors, noted the particular challenges
inherent in holding regular meetings in Vancouver, with
the greatest barriers being its many bridges, which create
geographical and/or psychological barriers between the
various suburbs. Those in attendance were encouraged by
the time together and eager to discuss issues related
to the integration of their work and their faith. A lively
discussion ensued that emphasized not only the importance
of maintaining CAPS’ focus as a professional association,
but also the need to develop a Christian model of counseling.
