Welcome to the Emotion Transformation Institute!
We are a research institute affiliated with the Family Psychology Centre in Toronto, Canada.
Our institute studies the role of emotion and family environment on mental health. While we particularly emphasize Emotion Focused Therapy for Youth (EFT-Y) and Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), we also look at other emotion-focused interventions.
Understanding the impact of emotions on psychological well-being is crucial for improving mental health outcomes for everyone.
