The Manitoba School Counsellors’ Association (MSCA) is a special area group of the Manitoba Teachers' Society, made up of individuals working or interested in the field of guidance and counselling. Our objectives are to promote and develop guidance and counselling services for children and youth, and to promote and provide training for school counsellors and professionals in related areas. MSCA provides an open forum and network for discussion of current issues in school counselling through our monthly meetings, our quarterly journal (MSC), and professional development opportunities.
L'Association des conseillers scolaires du Manitoba (MSCA ou ACSM) est un groupe spécial de la Manitoba Teachers’ Society, composé de personnes passionnées ou intéressées dans le domaine du counseling et de l’orientation scolaire.

I am doing a full day workshop! I hope you will join me. In my practice as a clinical psychologist, I have learned so much about grief that I would like to share. We will study:
I have practical handouts about the worst and best things to say to someone in grief.
In this workshop, you will not be asked to share your personal stories of grief.
All this happens in one day, and is filled with discussion, exercises, and stories to optimize your learning. Hopefully, some laughter too. I would love you to join me! Register online at MTS PD-Workshops.
