The University of Pennsylvania is one of the oldest universities in America and, as a member of the Ivy League, one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in all the world. Penn is dedicated to the pursuit of “useful knowledge” –the phrase founder Ben Franklin used to describe innovation for public service. The University is home to 12 schools including the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Nursing, the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Wharton School of Business, as well as several graduate and professional schools such as Perelman School of Medicine.

Beck Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit with the mission of improving lives worldwide through excellence and innovation in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy. It was established in 1994 by Dr. Aaron T. Beck and Dr. Judith S. Beck. As the leading source for Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) training and resources, Beck Institute has provided more than 45,000 clinicians from 130 countries with state-of-the-art training in CBT, the most highly researched and widely adopted of the evidence-based psychotherapies. In 2019, Beck Institute opened the Beck Institute Center for Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R) to train professionals and staff who work with individuals with serious mental health conditions. In the same year, Beck Institute launched an intensive CBT certification program designed to raise the bar for excellence in the field through training, mentorship, and feedback from expert faculty. In addition to professional training, Beck Institute provides information and resources for the public on these two forms of evidence-based psychotherapy and operates a small, in-house clinic to treat clients. The Beck Institute Cares website provides information and resources about CBT to the lay public.

We support mental health professionals with the toolkit they need to deliver great therapy, helping clients to make the most of their treatment. Our tools are designed by experts and grounded in the evidence-base to enhance your practice.
