Coalition for Access to Psychotherapy (CAP) members work in different domains of health and social services. Comprised of consumer representatives and family members of people with mental health problems as well as experts who can contribute to the definition of insurability models of healthcare services, of organization of services and of mechanisms to ensure quality of services, CAP constitutes a forum that can provide thoughtful input to questions relating to access to psychotherapy services.

CAP also includes clinicians and scientists with expertise in the organization of services, the effectiveness of psychotherapy services and the implementation of insured services.
