The Group Foundation for Advancing Mental Health announced on November 1, 2024, the establishment of the Smith Giesbrecht Canadian Scholarship, funded by AGPA member Joan-Dianne Smith and James Giesbrecht in memory of their son, David Smith Giesbrecht, who passed away in 2024 at age 42. The scholarship will support a Canadian therapist, preferably affiliated with the Toronto Institute for Group Studies, committed to a lifelong career in group therapy. It provides two consecutive years of attendance at AGPA Connect, travel support, and a stipend for supervision or consultation between conferences. Honoring David’s passion for learning and connection despite his learning disabilities, the scholarship aims to foster dedicated group therapists. Applications are open for AGPA Connect 2025 in San Francisco, CA, aligning with the Foundation’s mission to enhance group therapy training and access globally.
