A NEW NONPROFIT FOR PSYCHOTHERAPY SAFETY
Building the Future of Psychotherapy Safety
Patient safety is how we strengthen psychotherapy and support clinicians.
THE CHALLENGE

Routine outcome monitoring is one of the most evidence-supported practices in psychotherapy. When therapists track client progress using validated measures, they can identify deterioration early and adjust treatment—leading to better outcomes for everyone.

CPS is not a crisis service, a licensing board, a complaint body, or an anti-therapy organization. We are educators and evidence translators who believe that safety and quality go hand in hand.
