Mid-Atlantic Group Psychotherapy Society (MAGPS)

Mission:
The Mid-Atlantic Group Psychotherapy Society (MAGPS) is a multi-disciplinary organization that offers members the opportunity for professional growth to expand their scope of clinical practice and network with other group therapists. We believe strongly in the efficacy and viability of group therapy as a primary modality of psychological treatment and emotional support. The society is committed to:

• Elevating standards of practice and training in group psychotherapy
• Sponsoring activities and opportunities to enhance knowledge and skills in group
psychotherapy to the public, local institutions, students, and professionals
• Disseminating information about group psychotherapy services
• Providing a network of peer support that serves the professional needs of group practitioners Vision:
By addressing institutional racism, we are creating change in who we are as a community and how we work as therapists. We are re-envisioning our organization to foster a community of inclusion in order to create a new culture of equity for group therapists -- one in which we deconstruct the ways that white supremacy has shaped our organization within the field of mental health.
