Mentors/supervisors.
There is currently no complete Poetry Therapy Masters Degree program in the United States. Training is done by mentors who are Certified and Registered Poetry Therapists and CAPFs. A complete list of mentors can be found on the website of International Federation for Biblio/Poetry Therapy: ifpt.org. We have included a directory here for your convenience. Most Mentors/Supervisors work with distance learners. Contact individual trainers about methods and plans. For more information on training or the training requirements, visit ifpt.org
