Yukon plans to regulate social workers to align with Canadian standards

Yukon's government plans to regulate clinical social workers to align with other Canadian jurisdictions. This decision follows the suspension of a social worker in British Columbia for promoting harmful conspiracy theories while still practicing in Yukon. Community Services Minister Richard Mostyn stated that the territory currently lacks regulations for social workers, which he finds unacceptable. He emphasized the need for oversight to protect the public and ensure professional standards. The government is reviewing the work of the suspended social worker, Debbra Greig, who may be providing services for the federal government. Mostyn has reached out to federal authorities regarding her activities.
