Community Partnerships Initiative

CPI brings therapy to clients who need it most, but experience barriers to access. Free, on-site and off-site services are offered in collaboration with our partner agencies.

What We Do

CPI helps individuals and families heal from trauma, improve mental and emotional wellbeing, and foster healthy relationships through collaborative partnerships. We eliminate common barriers to receiving mental health care by offering both on-site and off-site therapeutic services that are responsive to client and agency needs throughout the greater Philadelphia area. The overwhelming majority of these therapeutic services are offered at no-cost to the client.

Individual, couples, and family therapy is available, as well as group interventions for adults, children, teens, and families. The therapeutic focus of our work includes grief and loss, trauma, parenting, relationship challenges, and recovery from mental illness.

As part of the CPI mission, CFR Staff Therapists support the training and capacity-building goals of our community partners by offering workshops, consultation, crisis response, and guidance for the partner agency staff.

How to Work with CPI

The following are examples of the ways CPI engages with our partners:

CPI strategically plans, designs, and fundraises to bring a dedicated, embedded CFR Staff Therapist to their organization.
CFR Clinical Interns provide both on-site and off-site therapy to partner organizations. Learn more about working with CFR Clinical Interns.
Each partner is assigned an exclusive CPI Staff Member to help facilitate the client referral process.
CPI provides crisis response interventions, workshops, and groups on an a-la-carte basis.
