VALUES

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility  

CAST acknowledges systemic and cultural structures that privilege certain groups, and the potential for discriminatory and oppressive values to penetrate the field of Counselling/Therapy/Psychotherapy. 

We commit to respecting and honouring the diverse histories, languages, cultures and experiences of Indigenous peoples including First Nations, Inuit and Métis. 

We extend this respect and honour to the diversity in our community and in our practices that includes but is not limited to race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability both visible and invisible, neurodivergence, socio-economic status, class or religion. 

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment that brings together diverse perspectives from our students, teaching members, board members, and members of our community.  Together we strive to advance excellence in clinical practice and teaching in the field of Sandplay Therapy in ways that are equitable, diverse, accessible and inclusionary.  We place human rights and dignity at the centre of our educational initiatives, and promote adherence to these values in the practices of our members.
