The Origins of Our Working Group
The CCPPP Working Group Against Racism and Discrimination in Canadian Psychology Training and Practice was formed in August 2020 to meet the commitments outlined in the CCPPP's Statement Against Racism and Discrimination. This working group is composed of psychology students, faculty, and professional psychologists from across Canada.
Current Initiatives
Graduate Student and Resident Survey: Link Below
In 2023 the Canadian Psychological Associated (CPA) released the revised Accreditation Standards for Doctoral and Residency Programs (6th revision). Our group designed this survey to gather information from graduate students across the country regarding this change and its potential impact so far. We are particularly interested in student perceptions of how programs are implementing the foundational competencies of ‘individual, social, and cultural diversity’ and ‘Indigenous interculturalism’ throughout their training programs. Our aim is to support advocacy for these standards and help develop resources that will be of value to program Directors of Clinical Training (DCTs) and Residency Directors of Training (DoTs) as they work to implement the new standards.
Participants will be entered in a draw for one of two $50 cash prizes. If you have already completed the survey but were not entered in the draw, please email our group at ccpppantiracismgroup@gmail.com.
If you indicate that you are currently on residency, you will have the option to complete questions related to both your residency and doctoral program, if you wish. Survey responses will be reviewed and analyzed by members of the CCPPP Anti-Racism Working Group. Aggregated and anonymized data from this survey may be shared with key stakeholders and interested groups such as CCPPP, CPA, DCTs and DoTs. Our intention is to treat these data with the utmost of confidentiality.

We expect the survey should take 20-30 minutes. Thank you for your time.
If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, please feel free to contact us at: ccpppantiracismgroup@gmail.com
Unique Resource for Psychology Training Programs: Co-Supervision in Canada
Co-supervision experiences allow psychology graduate students to receive professional training in areas where psychologists may not be regularly employed, but where members of historically under-served and under-represented groups are often accessing services. Our Recommendations and Guidelines for Establishing and Maintaining Co-Supervision Arrangements in Graduate Level Psychology Training is the first set of recommendations and guidelines designed for Canadian psychology programs to help facilitate co-supervision. |
In June 2023, our Anti-Racism Working Group presented initiatives from our three subgroups at the Canadian Psychological Association National Convention in Toronto.

We always welcome new members from across Canada – both graduate students, psychologists in the training community, and practicing psychologists. Bring your ideas, passions, and priorities! All meetings are virtual given that members live across the country. If you are interested in learning more about being involved, or are involved in complementary initiatives and want to connect, please reach out to ccpppantiracismgroup@gmail.com.
