SUMMARY:Deadline Extended - EGPS Training Program in Group Psychotherapy Applications due August 31
DESCRIPTION:GROUP THERAPY IS HEALING IN COMMUNITY!\nAt a time of increasing need for relationships and community\, Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society offers a Training Program in Group Psychotherapy that is designed to accommodate therapists and group leaders in clinics\, agencies\, and private practice. The program consists of three weekly components: Group Consultation\, Didactic Instruction\, and Experiential Group. The Training Program addresses racial and social justice issues in group work of all kinds. \n\n\nJust some of the areas covered: \n\n\nEarly Group Development\nPhases of Group Development\nOthering in Groups\nSystems of Power and Inequaliity\nRacial Dynamics in Groups\nRacial Affinity Groups\nNon-Verbal Communication in Group Work\nEmbodied Ethics\nLeader Interventions with Patients Experienced as Difficult\nTransference and Countertransference\n\n\nTrainees 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nThe Training Program Faculty is composed of senior members of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society and the American Group Psychotherapy Association. \nA 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. \nFaculty members consult with our Dean of Curriculum as they prepare their courses; meet annually with an expert in intersectionality\, and are encouraged to engage in ongoing racial literacy and anti-oppression training. \nEach trainee will be paired with a mentor who has group experience to help you get your very own group up and running! \n\nTrainees will learn to:\n\nFacilitate intimate connections & difficult discussions\nRecognize the impact of systemic oppression on group dynamics\nExperience and study one’s own social location and how the aspects of identity\, power and privilege play out in groups\n\nExperience the Power of Group Work:\n\nIncreasing feelings of connection and decreases feelings of isolation\nFostering relationships and noticing obstacles to intimacy\nBeing part of a larger whole & recognize one’s impact\nSupporting and helping & being supported and helped.\n\n\nRolling Admissions until August 31st\, 2025: Submit your application immediately to be considered for the upcoming September\, 2025 – June\, 2026 class! \nTuition $5\,900 \nNeed based partial scholarships are available through the J.

There’s not ‘just one way’ to run groups”\n\n\nThe EGPS Training Program in Group Psychotherapy was the recipient of an “Award for Outstanding Contributions in Education and Training in the Field of Group Psychotherapy” presented by the International Board for Certification of Group Psychotherapists.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMission: The EGPS Training Program is committed to providing training in group theory and processes that recognizes significant aspects of personal identity. The program seeks to facilitate understanding of the impact of systemic and institutional oppression on individuals and groups; and to counteract racism and white supremacy through teaching of anti-oppressive approaches to group work\, and through the process of administering the program. The program promotes racial literacy through anti-racism training\, and the incorporation of diverse racial and cultural perspectives through our faculty and curriculum. We are committed to racial justice through the provision of reparations funding for Black and Indigenous trainees.\n\nVision: Recognizing that traditional group psychotherapy has been defined by western white dominant patriarchal culture\, we envision group healing that draws on a greater variety of cultural practices and approaches to healing that seeks to not only to address the needs of individuals but of the greater society.
