Message for Therapists

Badge of Life Canada currently lists therapists across the country. As Badge of Life Canada doesn’t charge for listing on the website, we encourage our listed therapists to give back and help support Badge of Life Canada either through money donation to support the costs of the website or through volunteering time on our Monday night virtual peer support sessions. Badge of Life Canada greatly appreciates all of your assistance to date and would like to thank you for any support that you can provide by dispersing our message across Canada.

You can donate money via the button below. Even small amounts make a big difference. And of course, your donations are tax deductible.

To volunteer time, contact the Executive Director, Laura Kloosterman, using the button below. Based on the number of therapists listed, your time contribution would be minimal but greatly appreciated.

If you are currently listed on our website and would like to update the information provided, including your picture, send the updated information to webmaster@badgeoflifecanada.org. Make sure your picture is large enough (at least 480 x 600 pixels) and show upper torso and head.
