Acadia University has launched a standalone School of Counselling, which will house Acadia’s Master of Education in Counselling program. The master’s program was launched in the 1970s and was housed in the university’s School of Education. Since that time, there have been significant changes around the regulation and recognition of counselling as a health profession. Acadia says that the new school acknowledges that transformational shift. Acadia Provost and VP Academic Dr Ashlee Cunsolo explained that moving the program into a stand-alone school will allow it to flourish and support the training of more mental health professionals in Nova Scotia.
