Training

The Canadian Group Psychotherapy Association’s aim is to encourage, foster, sponsor, and provide group psychotherapy education for Mental Health professionals across Canada. The annual national conference provides a unique and rich opportunity for group therapy practitioners to advance their knowledge and skill. Some disciplines are able to receive continuing education credits for participating in the conference.

Within the Sections, educational events are geared to meet specific regional interests. Sections can tap into expertise from across the nation through the Presenters Directory. In addition, the Association advances group psychotherapy training by setting national training standards and providing accreditation for formal training programs. Regional training programs are located in Toronto, Winnipeg, and Calgary and a conference based training program is currently being explored.
