Enregistrement professionnel et diplômes universitaires :
En plus de deux programmes de certificat et de nombreuses conférences professionnelles au Canada et aux États-Unis, j’ai suivi une formation de deux semaines en Australie avec Michael White, cofondateur de la thérapie narrative. En Colombie-Britannique, je suis inscrit à mon collège professionnel pour travailler en pratique privée avec des personnes individuelles, des couples, des familles et des groupes (Reg.#3263). La désignation R.C.S.W. est une étape supérieure à la désignation R.S.W. qui comprend un examen clinique nord-américain.
