Our Path to Success!
Becoming Institute
We urge College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO), Nurse Psychotherapy Association of Ontario (NPAO), Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), and the Ministry of Health of Ontario (MOH) to collaborate in developing a sustainable and equitable framework for RN-Psychotherapists.
As a regulatory body, CNO has initiated important foundational work in this area, but it is time to go further. CNO has an obligation to establish a structured framework for RN-Psychotherapists, that recognizes it as an advanced practice similar to the Nurse Practitioner. The future of mental health care depends on recognizing and supporting RN-Psychotherapists as vital contributors to Ontario’s healthcare system.
Every contribution makes a difference! Your support helps provide scholarships, resources, and opportunities for students to succeed. Together, we can transform lives and create a future of healing and empowerment.
