Membership Registration and Benefits
Choose the membership option that fits your needs and enjoy exclusive benefits, resources, and CBT connections.
Full Member
Full Members are licensed or registered with a regulated health profession. As a Full Member, you will enjoy numerous benefits, including voting rights (e.g. at the Annual General Meeting) and eligibility to serve on the Board of Directors or Committees.
Full Members include all active members (non-student) who have paid the current yearly membership fee. Full Members also include Certified Members, Fellows, and Founding Members.
Student Member
Student Membership is open to individuals enrolled in a post-secondary program of study related to mental health (e.g., counselling, medicine, nursing, psychiatry, psychology, social work, occupational therapy) as well as recent graduates actively pursuing graduate-level training in a related discipline (e.g., during a gap year).
Retired Affiliate
For members who are retiring but want to remain connected to CACBT, we offer the free "Retired Affiliates" option. If you meet the following criteria, you are eligible to become a Retired Affiliate with CACBT:
- You are no longer practicing
- You have been a CACBT member for at least 5 of the last 10 years
- AND at least ONE of the following: Currently a Certified Member, a Past Board Member, or a Fellow
Retired Affiliates will continue to have access to the CACBT Member Portal and Workspace Discussion Forums. While there is no fee to become a Retired Affiliate, individuals will be required to renew their membership annually to keep our records current.
