4-Day Intensive Online Training Workshop – October 23 to 26, 2025

The Centre for Posttraumatic Stress & Anxiety Treatment is pleased to announce a four-day intensive online training workshop in Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

PE is a manualized cognitive-behavioural treatment for PTSD with an extensive base of empirical support. Numerous controlled studies have shown that PE significantly reduces the symptoms of PTSD in a wide range of trauma survivors. PE is strongly recommended by every major U.S. and international clinical practice guideline for the treatment of PTSD.

Topics covered:
• Assessment, diagnosis and psychopathology of PTSD;
• Empirically-supported psychotherapeutic treatments for chronic PTSD and their comparative efficacy;
• Emotional Processing Theory and its relation to PE;
• Implementation of the components of PE, including psychoeducation, breathing retraining, in vivo exposure to trauma reminders, imaginal exposure to trauma memories, and processing of exposures;
• Identification and management of obstacles to effective emotional processing, including avoidance, over-engagement, and under-engagement;

Video vignettes will illustrate the various components of PE, and participants will have an opportunity to practice selected interventions in pairs during break-out sessions.

Intended audience:
Licensed mental health professionals or those working under the supervision of a licensed mental health professional. Previous training and experience with cognitive-behavioural therapy is strongly advised.

Dates: October 23 to 26, 2025
Location: Online (live) via Zoom

Every year, the CPA hosts an Annual Convention that brings together more than 1,200 members from across Canada to share and generate new ideas, network, and advance psychological science, practice, and education. Knowledge sharing and collaboration are essential to the evolution of psychology in Canada, and by creating more spaces for these conversations, we can continue to drive meaningful progress in the field.

As the needs of our membership grow and the landscape of psychology evolves, there is a need for a new, dedicated space to dive deeply into single, pressing topics. That’s why we’re launching the Annual CPA Satellite Conference—a yearly event focused on one issue that is important to our members. Each year, we will determine the topic of the conference based on what we and our membership feel is currently significant to psychology and deserving of in-depth and targeted discussion. These two-day events will bring together psychologists and students from across Canada to exchange ideas and insights, learning from the country’s leading psychology experts.

This year, our Satellite Conference will focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Psychology. The AI landscape is rapidly evolving in Canada and beyond. What does this mean for psychological science, practice, and education in Canada? What can psychology teach us about how we use and interact with AI? What is psychology’s place in AI in Canada?

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in critical discussions on AI’s role in psychological science, practice, and education. Join us in Vancouver at the stunning Nest at UBC for two days of insight, learning, and networking.
