Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

CRPO is committed to fostering an environment where all communities it serves feel meaningfully engaged, heard, respected, treated with dignity, and receive safe, competent services.  

CRPO is committed to fostering an environment where all communities it serves feel meaningfully engaged, heard, respected, treated with dignity, and receive safe, competent services.

 

Living up to these commitments is an ongoing process, requiring reflection, dedication, and openness to change. With humility, CRPO will continue to strive to honour these commitments through the CRPO’s actions and its relationships with clients, the public, psychotherapists, other regulators, associations, and governments.

 

As a provincial healthcare regulator, CRPO works in the public interest. As such, we acknowledge the historical and contemporary impacts of colonization and the persistence of inequities within healthcare systems, including systems that provide psychotherapeutic and other mental health services.

 

CRPO values equity, diversity, and inclusion: our core values reflect these concepts, and we are accountable to them in everything we do as a regulator.

 

As we learn and grow on this journey towards a trusting relationship with the peoples of Ontario and an inclusive profession, we will work to ensure that our actions reflect our values and that we are accountable for them.
