Trainees receive didactic instruction as well as guidance and consultation in
how to begin and facilitate their own groups. For those who are already running groups, participating in this program will help you understand the processes and dynamics occurring among your group members and address challenges with clarity. Trainees will also participate in an “Experiential” process group to have the in-vivo experience of being a group member. The program meets weekly from September through June on Zoom. The Didactic and Experiential Group Components meet on Wednesdays from 7:15 – 10:00 PM ET. The dates and times for the Consultation Group component of the program will be determined.
The Training Program Faculty is composed of senior members of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society and the American Group Psychotherapy Association.
A certificate is awarded upon completion of the program. The Training Program, with an option for additional consultation, is designed so that qualified applicants can use the educational and supervisory components toward inclusion in the International Board of Certification for Group Psychotherapy.
Faculty members consult with our Dean of Curriculum as they prepare their courses; meet annual with an expert in intersectionality, and are encouraged to engage in ongoing racial literacy and anti-oppression training.
Each trainee will be paired with a mentor who has group experience to help you get your very own group up and running!
