As the united voice of psychologists, TTAP can make sure that your concerns are addressed. TTAP can also ensure that the necessary checks are done so that people who are not qualified to administer therapy don't continue to do so under the guise of being a registered psychologist. This of course protects the integrity of the profession. Also, contracts and job vacancies in the field can be passed on through TTAP to ensure that therapists always know what opportunies are available.

With mental health being more and more on the forefront, many companies have concerned themselves with having Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), requiring psychometric testing or engaging the skillset of Organizational Psychologists. These companies can now easily be directed to persons who offer such services or check to ensure that individuals are verified using TTAP's list of members.

Now people can immediately check to see if an individual is a verified psychologist by simply searching for them on TTAP's website. Also, if an individual wishes to retain the services of a psychologist, this is a great starting point.

In special cases school guidance counsellors may choose to recommend external counselling. Looking to TTAP for such recommendations or to peruse current members is a great option to ensure young minds get the specialized counselling they may require.
