Werklund Psychologist Receives Life Membership Award in National Association

At its annual conference, held in Montreal in April, Robertson received the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association’s (CCPA) Honorary Life Membership Award, the highest honour given to its members. 

And it’s an award that’s not given lightly; less than a dozen people have been selected for the award since the CCPA was established more than 50 years ago.

Robertson, professor of counselling psychology, is a registered psychologist in Alberta whose areas of research include psychosocial transitions, stress, coping, and social support; loss, grief, and bereavement; counselling women; counsellor education and supervision; and program development and evaluation.

Robertson has served on the CCPA Board of Directors as the Alberta director, president-elect, president, and past president. She has also served CCPA in other ways including as co-chair of the CCPA 2012 conference and as a member of the awards committee, the certification committee, and the executive committee of the Counsellor Educators’ chapter.
