Lena Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship of Canada (IRCC), the CPA voiced their concern about the IRCC's plan to introduce a copayment model for services provided under the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP).  The IFHP provides health services (including psychological services) to refugees and asylum-seekers in Canada, and the CPA argued that the introduction of a copayment model would equate to denying services to this vulnerable population.  You can read the letter here.

IFS Relationship Skills for Couple and Individual Therapy: Intimacy From the Inside Out

May 1 & 2, 2026
11:00am – 2:30 pm (ET)
Live Online via Zoom

View Workshop Highlights: https://youtu.be/GAGBXUuL49U

This workshop offers therapists a practical, experiential framework for working with individuals and couples that helps make sense of conflict through an Internal Family Systems lens. Participants learn how to identify and work with the protective “parts” that show up between partners, support courageous and compassionate communication, and use the relationship itself as a pathway for healing so that sessions move beyond problem-solving into deeper connection, repair, and growth.

The model translates seamlessly into individual therapy and couples/relationship therapy by strengthening clinicians’ ability to track internal dynamics, attachment needs, and nervous system activation that shape clients’ relationships. Through discussion, video demonstrations, and guided practice, therapists leave with concrete interventions they can apply immediately, helping clients (both individuals and those they are relationships with) build regulation, increase self-leadership, and create more secure, responsive patterns of relating.

Student Rates and Group Discounts Available.
