Competence as a group therapist requires specialized knowledge and skills. The in-depth learning and experiences essential for group leadership are not often available in the course of mental health training.

Currently the NSGP Training Committee offers a Principles of Group Psychotherapy course This 20-hour course meets the educational portion of the requirements for the National Registry of Group Psychotherapists (CGP). There are additional group leadership and supervision requirements required for the CGP designation. Further information on the CGP designation can be found on the AGPA website at www.agapa.org/stdnt/certinex.html.    The NSGP Training Committee will also be offering a 13 week experiential group.
