AGPA Connect 2025 "Being Seen: The Many Faces of Group" will take place on March 3-8, 2025. The deadline to submit proposals has been extended to July 8 so we encourage you to submit at https://2025-connect.events.agpa.org/ We are building a concurrent virtual and in-person program to allow for greater accessibility to quality mental health offerings to a greater number of people worldwide and strongly encourage submissions that will be presented virtually.
Engage with the work the Group Foundation funds and supports.
The communities in which we live, and work are facing a mental health crisis in which there is great need for services and a shortage of providers. Evidence is now clear that group interventions are at the forefront of treatments to heal trauma, improve individual, family, and workplace relationships, and address a variety of mental health conditions. The effectiveness and efficiency of group therapy means it can play a key role in any solution to the crisis. The Group Foundation is dedicated to education, training, research, and community programs that assure the advancement of the most innovative group work that can enhance people’s lives.
Please make a gift to the Group Foundation before June 30th. All that we do is focused on our common goal of addressing the crisis of mental health needs through the use of the powerful modality that is group therapy. Mental health is essential, and group can help.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS IS VITAL
The U.S. is facing a mental health crisis. There are not enough providers for the increasing demand for mental health treatment. We at AGPA recognize this month as a time to promote mental health awareness and wellness for all.
