What is a CPT Community Project?
A CPT Community Project is a community training track placement that offers PINC candidates immersive learning in community psychoanalysis. Ideas for projects are gestated through collaboration between the CPT and the Community Consortium network. Projects are conceived through a collaborative process between public agency representatives and the CPT directors. The aspiration of CPT Projects is to forge bidirectional impact, fostering reciprocal growth and change between the community agencies, the candidates, and PINC as an institute.
