The Canadian Group Psychotherapy Foundation (CGPF) promotes education, training, and research in group psychotherapy.

​

In group psychotherapy, individuals receive psychological support as part of a group, which is led or facilitated by trained health care providers. Research has demonstrated group psychotherapy to be an effective mode of psychological treatment, which also promotes general improvements in self-understanding, personal growth, communication, and relationship quality. Core principles of group psychotherapy are also applied outside of clinical contexts, in educational settings as well as in organizations and communities.

​

CGPF’s funding model is based exclusively on donations. Donations directly support research, training, and educational opportunities, as well as awards and scholarships for individuals who wish to participate in these opportunities.
