From our friends at the BC School Counsellors Association: Registration is open for the 2026 conference

September 17, 2026

School counsellors from across the province can register now to attend the British Columbia School Counsellors Association (BCSCA) Conference.

Taking place on Friday, October 23, this event brings together hundreds of certified school counsellors to connect with peers, discover new strategies and celebrate the impact of school counselling.

The conference offers interactive workshops on topics such as keeping kids safe online, supporting neurodivergent students, substance use prevention, grief, autism-affirming counselling and more. It also features keynote speakers, exhibitors and opportunities for networking.

You can learn more and register for the in-person and online streams on the conference website.

The Children’s Health Policy Centre has previously contributed to BC Counsellor, the BCSCA’s magazine. You can find our 2024 article, “The Payoffs from Prevention,” and other past issues of BC Counsellor in their online library.
