PRESIDENT’S MESSGE
P
sychology
Month, which
sometimes goes by
the alias “February”,
is just about here, or
maybe it is here, by
the time you are
Victor Day, Ph.D.,
APNS President
reading this. APNS
will be sponsoring a couple of
pages in the Chronicle Herald,
along with the NSBEP and
supportive private practice groups,
which will include some articles
and an explanation of who we are
and what we do. I know that
sounds like just the same as
previous years, and of course we
could try to create a viral video to
really catch the public’s attention.
However the problem is
educational videos about the
profession of psychology never go
viral, and videos that do go viral
usually do not fit with the
professional image we wish to
convey. But if you have
demonstrated the power of the
principles of psychology by
training your cat to play the piano,
let me know.
We are trying a few additional
things. One is to get some local
celebrities to wear a “Mind Your
Mental Health” t-shirt and tweet
about it. Look for it on Twitter.
We also will be offering to do
interviews on Psychology Month
and psychological topics on the
local media. Check the
“Psychology Month” section of
our website for more information.
http://apns.ca/home/psychology-month/
Indeed one thing we can all do to
generate more public interest is to
agree to provide interviews for the
public media on topical issues, or
agree to speak to public groups as
the opportunities arise. The former
usually does not take much time,
although may involve fitting it in
to your schedule on short notice.
Although some psychologists have
apprehensions about speaking in
the public media, those of us who
have done it occasionally have
found it generally is a positive
experience. What the public
typically takes away is that you are
a knowledgeable person, some sort
of expert, which is good for you
and good for the profession. I
believe that many APNS members
can make useful contributions to
the public consideration of many
current issues.
We are continuing our efforts to
advocate for the profession,
including recently meeting with
officials in the NS Dept. of Health
about a variety of issues, including
hiring more psychologists, the
delays in reconstituting our
previous arrangement for postcontinued on page 2
Reports
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (continued from page 1)
disaster services, and health employees’ insurance
coverage for private psychological services. I have
nothing to report yet as accomplished; all of these
issues are still “works in progress”.
On the topic of advocacy, our Advocacy
Committee chaired by Dr. Kiran Pure could use
some additional members. Remember that
nowadays people can “Skype” into committee
meetings from outside of Halifax. Contact
apns@apns.ca if you are interested in participating
on this committee. Among other activities, the
Advocacy Committee is considering what may be
done during the campaigning for the national
election in October. This can be a good time to
access candidates and MPs on topics of interest to
us. Although many educational and health issues
Page 2
are more provincial in nature, some, such as taxes,
are also federal in nature. The application of the
GST to some psychological services is an on-going
issue; and our idea about a tax deduction when
psychologists provide pro bono services is both
provincial and federal. Do you have ideas about
other issues that are mainly federal responsibilities,
which we should be advocating for during the
upcoming election?
Let me know.

PSYCHOLOGY MONTH 2015: Message from CPA
F
ebruary is Psychology Month.
The message of Psychology Month is simple:
“Psychology is for everyone.” Psychology Month
is a campaign encouraging everyone in the
psychology community to make time during
February to share with the public what it is they do
and how it contributes to the overall well-being of
the community. It’s that simple. Visit our
Psychology Month page for information on how
you can celebrate Psychology Month.
Mind Your Mental Health – MYMH.ca
In honour of Psychology Month, the Canadian
Psychological Association (CPA), the Association
of Psychologists of Nova Scotia (APNS) and
representatives from the other provincial and
territorial associations of psychology have
launched their second national Mind Your Mental
Health (MYMH) Campaign to help highlight the
need to enhance access to psychological services
across Canada.
The campaign encourages the public to e-mail
their Provincial and Territorial governments to let
them know that access to a Psychologist is
important to them and their families. It also
encourages Canadians to take a picture wearing
the MYMH t-shirt and share it on social media
to show their support.
Page 5
“Access to a psychologist should be a right not a
privilege. The statistics are staggering. One in five
Canadians will experience a mental health
problem in a given year, yet only one in three
reportedly receives care. Canada needs to do a
better job at making sure that help is available to
those who need it,” says Dr. Kerry Mothersill,
President of the CPA.
“Psychological treatments work. Yet, these
services are inaccessible to people with modest
incomes or no private health insurance because
they are not covered by provincial/territorial health
insurance plans. Publically funded services, when
available, are often in short supply and wait lists
are long. Other countries have launched initiatives
that include covering the services of psychologists
through public health systems. These initiatives
are proving both cost and clinically effective,”
added Dr. Karen Cohen, Chief Executive Officer
of the CPA.
Canadians can participate in the campaign by
visiting MYMH.ca and submitting a letter to their
elected representative. You can also follow the
campaign all month long by visiting

NSBEP NOTES ~ Allan R. Wilson, Ph.D., Registrar
Changes to the NSBEP Continuing Competence
Program: Effective January 1, 2015
The NSBEP Continuing Competence Program
came into effect on January 1, 2012. At that time,
The Board indicated that it would “elicit feedback
from psychologists about the program” and
“modify the program to reflect feedback and
advancing knowledge with respect to the
assessment of competencies”. The Board has
carefully reviewed the feedback from registrants
obtained from the Continuing Competence
Program Survey. The Board has made the
following decisions regarding the Continuing
Competence Program.
The audit of psychologists for compliance with the
Program for 2013 and 2014 were placed on hold
pending the results of the Continuing Competence
Program survey of registrants. Given the proposed
changes to the program, the Board has decided not
to pursue the audits for the years 2013 and 2014.
The following changes to the Continuing
Competence Program will come into effect January
1, 2015.
The next audit of psychologists for compliance
with the program in 2015 will occur in early 2016.
Continuing Competence Program Form 1 (SelfAssessment and Learning Objectives) will now be
optional. Registrants may continue to use this form
to help guide their plans for the year but
psychologists will no longer be required to submit
Form 1 as part of the Audit process. Psychologists
will no longer be required to have another
psychologist review and sign their Self-Assessment
and Learning Objectives (Form 1).
learning objectives for the Core Competencies for
the coming year. Form 2 can then be used to list
Continuing Competence Activities and claim
credits, as these occur during the year. The revised
Form 2 is available on the NSBEP website.
There was some confusion about where webinars
might best fit in terms of the Continuing
Competence Activities. It was decided that
webinars would be included under the workshop
category. See revised Table of Continuing
Competence Activities and Credit Values (now
included in Form 2).
In responding to the Continuing Competence
Program Survey, some psychologists indicated that
the list of Continuing Competence Activities did
not adequately cover their learning activities. No
examples were provided, however, and no
suggestions were made regarding additional
continuing competence activities. The Board has
decided to retain the existing Continuing
Competence Activities and credit values for 2015.
Registrants are invited to submit suggestions for
additional Continuing Competence Activities for
the Board to consider.
In responding to the Continuing Competence
Program Survey, some psychologists indicated that
they were uncertain about what documentation
they should retain for the various Continuing
Competence Activities. See revised Table of
Continuing Competence Activities and Credit
Values for documentation requirements (now
included in Form 2). http://www.nsbep.org/
information-for-registrants/continuingcompetence/
There have been some changes made to the
Continuing Competence Program Form 2. Certain
parts of the form must be completed by January 1st
each year. Registrants are asked to identify broad

Obituary ~ Dennis Allaby
(July 16, 1970 - August 19, 2014)
Allaby, Dennis Troy of Dartmouth- age 44 years, passed away August 19, 2014 in the Halifax Infirmary. It is with
heavy hearts that our family announces his tragic and unexpected passing. Loving husband to Michelle Rae Hilchie
and thoughtful and devoted father to Brady, Maddox and Connor. He will be missed by his parents Roland and Lynda,
sibling Darren and Pamela (Tim), nephews Tyler and Spencer; his Father and Mother-in-law Reginald and Eleanor
(Cameron); sister-in-laws Kim (Robb), Jocelyn (Paul); brother-in-laws Darren (Teri), Duane (Marcia, Dwight
(Melissa); nieces and nephews Erika (Frick), Karissa, Rex, Jake, Lauren, Kenzie, Annika, Beau, Mitch, Kloey,
Courtney, Tyler, Adrienne, Abigail, Braeden, Kiana, Kelson, Parker, Callie, Olivia, Jaxon, Olivia, Bentley, Lincoln,
Beckham.
Dennis grew up in Hampton, New Brunswick. He was a proud Hamptonian. Although he moved away from his
childhood home at the age of eighteen, the spirit of the town, it’s residents and his time there never left him. He was
honoured that the town had a rich athletic heritage and reputation, and to be a huge part of carrying that reputation on.
Beyond his family and his Faith, it was the greatest source of pride in his life.
Dennis graduated from UNBSJ with a Bachelor of Arts, major in Psychology. He went on to complete his Masters in
New York City at John Jay College of the City University of New York. He loved his time in New York! Dennis was
employed as a clinical psychologist in the provinces of New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia. After
moving to Nova Scotia in 2002, he was privileged to work at the IWK. More recently, he enjoyed helping his clients at
PT Health. He was exemplary at his work and appreciated the opportunity to help others.
Dennis was a man who loved music and the arts; a man who loved sports; who loved animals, loved people … loved
academic life and especially psychology and the human mind. A man who made every personal interaction special,
and who always put people around him at the greatest of ease. A man who loved his wife and a father who was
affectionate, passionate, wild and crazy about his three young boys. Most importantly, a man who loved life and loved
God.
He excelled at sports, in fact, every sport he tried. He was a provincially recognized competitive hockey player in New
Brunswick (in high school, midget, junior and senior levels). Dennis took great pride in having played on provincial
championship teams with his childhood friends from Hampton in baseball, soccer, and of course, hockey. He also
excelled individually in badminton. Dennis was an exceptional athlete graced with speed, strength and power,
Dennis was loyal – Dennis never forgot a friend. He treated everyone with respect and valued them all. You see, to
Dennis it mattered not your ethnic background, whether you were rich or poor, short or tall. Dennis saw things with an
open mind and treated everyone with respect.
He loved his family – his dad Roland, his mom Lynda, his sister Pamela and his brother – Darren. He loved his
friendships – from childhood through to adult and work life. He truly valued friendship. Mostly though, he loved
Michelle. He loved his boys with all his heart! They were his world!! He loved spending all his time with them,
whether it be fishing, four wheeling or jumping on the trampoline (Kyle Shewfelt). Words cannot express how much
they meant to him! He loved their energy and zest for life! He simply loved being with them!
Although it is difficult to lose a man like Dennis – a wonderful Husband and Dad, a loyal friend, a caring human
being….we know he is back in our Heavenly Father’s loving arms watching over us.

Craig’s Cause Pancreatic Cancer Society Craig’s Cause Pancreatic Cancer Society’s mission is to provide information and support to those with pancreatic cancer and their families; to create awareness and educate both the general public and health professionals about the disease, and to raise research funds leading to earlier detection, and better treatments and quality of life for patients. Craig’s Cause offers a monthly support group meetings for anyone touched by cancer, featuring guest speakers, a question and answer period, and an opportunity to socialize with others who understand. Although Craig’s Cause is an organization dedicated to pancreatic cancer, the organization would like to open the support group up to those affected by other, less well‐recognized forms of cancer. Support group meetings take place on the first Tuesday of every month at 7pm at the Canadian Cancer Society’s The Lodge that Gives Board Room 5826 South Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Check the website http://
www.craigscause.ca/ for more up‐to‐date details. If you would like to participate as a guest speaker, or know of another psychologist or other health professional who might be interested in being a guest speaker, please contact Colleen Dafoe cmdafoe95@gmail.com or Chimène Jewer cjewer@bellaliant.net. If you have clients that you think might benefit from attending the support group, please do not hesitate to refer them to the group. Red Cross Call for Personnel to join the fight against Ebola As part of the coordinated response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Canadian Red Cross is seeking qualified personnel to join the fight against Ebola. The Red Cross has established Ebola Treatment Centres in West Africa, but Human Resources remains a critical gap in responding to the crisis, and one we are striving to quickly close. We are approaching the Association of Psychologists of Nova Scotia to request your support in the recruitment of health care professionals (e.g. physicians, nurses, psychosocial support professionals with international experience). Selected applicants who meet the health and professional standards established by the Canadian Red Cross will be deployed to a Red Cross Ebola Treatment Centre in West Africa between November 2014 and April 2015. Prior to deployment, the Red Cross will provide the qualified individuals with mission‐specific training including an extensive practical course on Ebola and related safety procedures. All deploying personnel who are new to the Red Cross will also receive Red Cross specific training. Each mission will initially be limited to four weeks due to the hardship of having to work under heavy personal protective equipment. Upon return to Canada, contracts will be extended for an additional three week rest period after deployment during which instructions will be provided on how to self monitor. During the rest period individuals are expected to not go back to their place of work. Anyone who deploys as part of this initiative will be placed under a Red Cross contract with pay and benefits. Visit http://www.redcross.ca/what‐we‐do/global‐health/west‐africa‐ebola‐virus/ebola‐response‐jobs to view the job posting and FAQs for deploying in support of the Ebola Response. Page 11
