BYPP Practice Pulse - October Edition


Hi Reader,

Welcome to BYPP Practice Pulse, your monthly roundup of growth opportunities, career connections, and resources for Canadian mental health practitioners.

🆕 What's New at BYPP

The seasons are changing, both outside our office windows and behind the scenes at BYPP! 🍂 This past month, we've been riding the wave of a busy fall while still reflecting on our incredible 10th Birthday Bash. We're feeling so grateful for the meaningful conversations, new connections, shared learning, and opportunity to meet even more of this wonderful community, both in person and virtually. It's been a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do, and we're carrying that energy with us into this next season!

Content that sounds like your practice

Imagine knowing exactly what to write next, and having it come out sounding like you instead of like every other AI-written therapy website. CARE is a guided content system built for therapists by Michael Ross of Designed By Thrive, who co-led our 2026 Canadian Therapist Marketing Report. It learns your practice, your clients, and your voice. Then it walks you through creating website pages, blogs, emails, and social posts that help the right clients find you on Google and in AI search. Founding membership is $97/month with the setup fee waived, and it's limited to 15 practices.

Your practice policies, already written

Picture opening your Google Drive and finding your no-show policy, your consent process for minors, and your subpoena protocol already written and ready to make your own. The Private Practice SOP Library has 148 finished procedures, clinic policies, and emergency procedures written for Canadian private and group practices by two Canadian group practice owners.

Each one arrives as a Google Doc the moment you buy, so you can copy it, add your details, and start using it. Choose the Solo Practice Edition (63 documents) or the Complete Library (all 148) for group practices.

Walk into your CBA with confidence...

The CRPO CBA On-Demand Prep Course gives you a clear, step-by-step way to get ready for the CRPO Case Based Assessment, at your own pace. The course is taught by Dan Wood, RP, a registered psychotherapist and private practice owner. It's built from the live prep course he has delivered to hundreds of therapists. You get video modules, practice scenarios, worksheets, and lifetime access so you can review right up to exam day. It also comes with the CBA Confidence Guarantee: if you complete the course and don't pass, you get personalized guidance and a free seat in a future offering. C$197 + HST, with instant access.

🤝 Community Connections

Liane is presenting for OAMHP on December 1

Ethical drift almost never starts with a bad decision. It starts with a small accommodation that made sense at the time: the sliding scale spot held one more month, the client kept when the caseload was already full, the extra session squeezed into a heavy week.

On Tuesday, December 1, Liane is presenting a one-hour session for the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals: Ethical Practice in Trauma-Shaped Systems: Preventing Ethical Drift Through Structural Design. It looks at ethics from the structural side, how fee integrity, caseload design, and financial stability protect clinical judgment. You'll leave with one risk-reduction strategy to put in place right away.

Tuesday, December 1, 2026, 12:30 to 1:30 pm ETLive on Zoom, recorded for everyone who registers1 CE credit, PDF workbook included$25 OAMHP members, $20 student and certified members, $30 non-membersLimited to 50 spots. Registration closes November 30.

Join Liane in Cancun this February

We're excited to share that Liane will be speaking at Leading Edge Cancun 2027, a continuing education retreat for therapists at the Dreams Jade Resort & Spa, an all-inclusive beachfront resort on the Mayan Riviera. The retreat runs over two weeks, February 1 to 5 and February 8 to 12. You can book one week or both.

Each week you choose one morning workshop with leading clinicians like Arielle Schwartz, Ramani Durvasula, Robyn Walser, Jamie Marich, Robert Neimeyer and Carolyn Ng, and Jennifer Sweeton. That's 16.25 CE credits for the week, with your afternoons free for the beach, the pool, or a good book.

Liane will be giving an evening talk to each week's group on the forces reshaping private practice and how to protect the work only you can do. We'd love to have some of our BYPP community there with her. If you're coming, we're putting together a BYPP dinner one night each week, so we can all sit down together and talk about practice, life, or anything else you like.

Leading Edge has given our community a code for $100 off: BYPP100. The early bird rate also closes this Thursday, October 15, so if Cancun in February sounds good, now is the time to grab your spot.
