Special
Interest Groups
SIGs are
Special Interest Groups established by AGPA for mental health
professionals who share a common interest in a specific area of
group psychotherapy. SIGs allow like-minded group psychotherapists
to share ideas and strengthen their knowledge through interaction
with their colleagues. SIGs vary in size, structure and activity
level, but each is open to all interested members. Join now by
emailing
agpamemberservices@agpa.org or call Toll Free 1-888-808-2472
