DID YOU KNOW?
When you become a Registered Art Therapist with the BCATA, your title, BCATR (BC, Art Therapist Registered) is considered a ‘protected title’ according to our provincial government’s Registrar of Companies! That means that ONLY Registered Art Therapists in BC can legally use the designation of BCATR. This is really important in terms of safeguarding our profession as well as being accountable to the public for our practice and our Code of Ethics.
Our Occupation Title Certificate was issued to the BC Art Therapy Association on August 31, 1994 under Part 9.1 of The Societies Act.
