  • We are pleased to announce that Keltie Creed has joined the Contact Point staff – that puts us to TWO full time staff people bringing you YOUR Contact Point!

She was one of the first people to work full time online providing one to one counselling to persons with disabilities and individuals who are isolated and unable to meet with a counsellor in person. She has also facilitated numerous virtual workshops and meetings, as well as designing an e-course for practitioners interested in exploring online counselling. Her employment related articles have appeared on several magazines and web sites. Keltie is a graduate of the George Brown Career and Work Counsellor program and the University of Calgary. Welcome aboard, Keltie!
