MAGPS is now accepting scholarship applications for the
Fall 2026 Conference:

"We Good?":
Navigating the Storming Group Stage within a Restorative Justice Lens

JACQUELIN E. DARBY, PSY.D., CGP

Our conferences and workshops are designed for members of our community to come together and learn about group therapy and group dynamics in a warm, collegial, and engaging environment.

MAGPS conferences are intended for trainees and practitioners in psychiatry, psychology, social work and other mental health disciplines.
Conferences offer both didactic and experiential learning experiences to deepen attendees' understanding of topical content in preparation for introducing the gained knowledge into their group therapy work. Attendees do not need to be actively participating group therapy, or live/work in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Conference Scholarships are available for students and first-time attendees.

Scholarships cover all conference registration fees and include one-year of free MAGPS membership.

If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, click the REGISTER button on the left and Liz Marsh, LICSW, ATR, CGP, our Past President and Scholarship Chair will be in touch with you shortly.

If you have any questions about our Scholarship process or the Conference itself, please feel free to email Liz at scholarships@magps.org.

Anti-Racism White Affinity Group (26 Jul 2026)

Sun, 26 Jul 2026 19:00:00 GMT

MAGPS Anti-Racism White Affinity Group

Sunday July 26, 2026
Virtual from 3:00-5:00 PM

White identifying MAGPS members are welcome and encouraged to join this group!

Join us to explore how being white in a culture that center whiteness has impacted our ability to effectively see and center anti-racism values. We'll look at how white supremacy culture and consciousness impacts us, our practices, our colleagues, and the MAGPS organization.

This virtual meeting is co-convened by Barbara Cristy and Jill Penaloza. You will receive the Zoom meeting link after you have registered.

Join us on the 4th Sunday of every month from 3-5pm ET.

In this group we share what is coming up for us in the here and now and explore how this relates to white identity, white supremacy, white centering and bias, and more. We use the group process to help deepen our awareness of personal biases as we support and challenge each other in the effort towards being more embodied and effective anti-racists.

For more information about other affinity groups and anti-racism programming at MAGPS, please reach out to JEDI@magps.org.

All registrants will get the Zoom Meeting Link emailed to them.

Affinity groups are free and we welcome all MAGPS Members.
