This includes professionals who support clients’ physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, financial, sexual, relational, and occupational health and wellness. Members must be accredited and (if applicable) licensed practitioners.

Creating and updating your Provider Directory Listing
Once you being your membership subscription, you will be given a link to create your KPACT Provider Directory listing profile. This is form which will create both a user account and your listing profile page.
Tips for a great profile
- Fill in as much information as you can. You will be able to choose your industry; based on that choice additional options for Populations Served, Patient Approach, and more will be visible as checkbox selections. These selections are displayed on your member profile listing and used the the search tool to “find a provider”.
- Include a headshot. Having a professional profile image is a good way to present an approachable profile.
- Include a short bio. Tell people about yourself: what is your approach, how do your work with patients/clients, what are your specialties?
How to add a profile image with a description.
We recommend that you use the JPG file format for all headshots. Images should be about 500 pixels on its longest side and no more than 72 dpi. You can compress your images using the free, online Squoosh app from Chrome.
In addition, you should create a short description of your headshot. This short description is used as the alternative text, or “alt text”, for the image. If you do not add a description a default “Headshot of Your Name” will be used. Alt text helps visually impaired people understand what the image shows and is displayed if the image fails to load.
Displaying your Business Name and/or your Full Name on your profile.
There are three fields used to identify your profile. Examples follow.
- Your Name – Your name is displayed on your profile whether or not you use a business name.
- Provider Listing Title – This is the Page Title for your listing. You can choose for this to be your name or a business name. We recommend that you just use your full name here if you are an employee of an organization. If you are a single-owner LLC and a sole-proprietor, a business name could be used instead.
- Business Name – The business name is part of your address and the only part of this information that we display on the site. This is a supplemental name – good for providers who are employed or associated with a larger organization.

KPACT Event Registration Fees
Your registration fees help support our programming and pay our guest speaker fees. Supporter and above levels help to subsidize fees for students and people with less financial means. Each event offers the following ticket pricing options:
Supporter ($40)
If you think of yourself as someone who financially has “more than enough,” please consider registering as a Supporter!
Standard ($30)
Our “Standard” rate is $30 for the cost of an event, including CEs.
Student ($15)
Students may opt for our discounted Student rate of $15.
Pay what you can
Support at any level makes a difference. If you need (or want) to pay an amount other than the named levels — maybe that’s $5, or $50! – this option is for you.

All registrants will receive a recording of the event and a link to the CE survey via email on the following business day. Registrants have seven days in which to complete the CE survey if they wish to receive CEs.
Where do KPACT registration fees go?
- To compensate KPACT presenters, as well as fund the behind-the-scenes efforts that go into maintaining the KPACT community, we invite you to contribute monetarily for trainings and presentations.
- To ensure that these educational opportunities are as accessible as possible, we have created a sliding scale which, we hope, will allow everyone to contribute in a meaningful way.
- In order to keep costs down, CE fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated.
How do continuing education credits work?
KPACT educational events offer continuing education units (CEs) in Illinois. CE fees are nonrefundable and are generally available to psychologists, social workers, counselors, and other licensed psychotherapy practitioners. KPACT courses are sponsored by LifeWorks Psychotherapy Center. LifeWorks maintains responsibility for KPACT programs and their content. In order to receive CEs, attendees must complete the survey distributed during the event within seven days of the event.
Will there be a recording of the event?
Virtual KPACT events are generally recorded and recordings are made available to registrants after the event.
