Anti-Oppression Psychotherapy Training (AOP)

Over the last couple of years Continuing Healing Consultants have delivered training on AOP to mental health professionals and community development experts in Toronto and Vancouver. Additionally, we have provided specific training on topics such as working with victims of hate crimes, dealing with suicidal clients, crisis intervention, conflict resolution for managers, trauma informed praxis and introduction to Anti-Oppression Psychotherapy for non for profit organizations and for entities within the provincial government. We were excited to include in our service delivery face to face as well as E-learning components.

In addition to our training/educational services, Continuing Healing Consultants is excited to announce an upcoming publication through the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health where we discuss Anti-Oppression Psychotherapy as Trauma Informed Praxis.

At this point we are also delighted to announce that we are open for new clients interested in pursuing/continuing their healing journeys with Anti-Oppression Psychotherapy. Our services are available in English and Spanish.  If you are interested in booking an appointment or to discuss further how our services match your needs, please contact us at (416) 503-9495.

Additionally, we are also excited to continue offering clinical consultation  for therapists and managerial supervision for organizations/individuals interested in strengthening their service delivery using an anti-oppression approach.

We look forward to continuing serving our communities!
