Students
Students come to TIRP from across Ontario and from diverse social, cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds.
Many have experience in education, social work, nursing, or other helping professions. Others use TIRP as part of a major change in career direction.
TIRP students bring with them self-awareness they have gained in their personal therapy, and a willingness to continue to explore their relational patterns in group process and individual therapy.
Students who prosper at TIRP enjoy experiential learning, self-directed study, and lively, authentic engagement with peers and faculty.
Faculty
