Overview

The Kink Knowledgeable Program came out of the publication of Becoming a Kink Aware Therapist. As a result of the lack of professional training on atypical information combined with the misinformation present in the therapeutic community, we decided to launch the Kink Knowledgeable Program (KKP). The Kink Knowledgeable Program is an online academy to educate and mentor psychotherapists in developing their skills, knowledge and competency to being able to work with clients who practice BDSM. Our broader vision is to become the exceptional go to place for continuing professional education for developing kink knowledgeable professionals. Our aim is to expand the focus of the Kink Knowledgeable Program to include medical and physical health practitioners, as well as legal professionals.
