Why did you join the CACBT Student Committee?

I joined the CACBT Student Committee to help foster student engagement in cognitive behavioural therapy and increase interest in careers as CBT clinicians, researchers, and mental health professionals. I am passionate about improving access to high-quality CBT education, training, and research opportunities, and I hope to contribute to the dissemination of evidence-based knowledge that supports the development of the next generation of mental health professionals.

Why you are passionate about CBT knowledge advocacy and dissemination?

I am passionate about the dissemination of CBT knowledge because both my research and clinical interests are grounded in evaluating and advancing evidence-based mental health care. Given the strong empirical support for CBT across a wide range of psychological difficulties, I believe it is essential to promote access to CBT research, training, and education so that more individuals can benefit from effective, evidence-based treatment.

Why did you join the CACBT Student Committee?

Over the past few years, I have been fortunate to learn from researchers, clinicians, and fellow students who have generously shared their knowledge and enthusiasm for psychology. Joining the CACBT Student Committee felt like an opportunity to give back to that community while continuing to learn from people who are passionate about CBT and evidence based mental health care.

Why you are passionate about CBT knowledge advocacy and dissemination?

What draws me to CBT is not only the strength of its scientific foundation, but also its ability to bridge the gap between research and real life. Some of the most valuable psychological tools are often confined to journal articles, classrooms, or therapy offices, yet they have the potential to benefit far more people. I am passionate about helping translate evidence based knowledge into accessible conversations and resources that empower individuals to better understand themselves and navigate life’s challenges.
