Dr. Quintina Bearchief-Adolpho Elected Board President of Psychologists’ Association of Alberta
Siksika Health Services is proud to announce that Siksika’s own, Dr. Quintina Bearchief-Adolpho has been elected President of the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta’s (PAA) Board of Directors. Quintina, or “Dr. Q” as she is known as by colleagues and friends, is the first Indigenous President of PAA’s Board of Directors, and the second First Nations Board President of all psychologist associations in Canada. As Dr. Q identifies in the June 2025 edition of the PAA’s Psymposium magazine (https://psychologistsassociation.ab.ca/psymposium/), “This is a testament to PAA’s focus on incorporating the Calls to Action developed by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.”
The Psychologists’ Association of Alberta serves as the voice of, and for, psychology in Alberta. As a voluntary body, the PAA advocates for psychology in Alberta, informs the public and the media, and advocates for consumers of psychotherapy, psychological, and mental health services. The Mission of the PAA is to advance the science-based profession of psychology and to promote the well-being and potential of all Albertans.
As Board President, Dr. Q ensures that the Board and CEO work collaboratively to address the needs and concerns of all psychologists in Alberta, with a particular focus on those serving the Indigenous population. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Q to this role; we look forward to the positive impact that her leadership will bring to the profession and the communities served by the PAA!
