SINCE 2006
Rakhawy Institute for Training and Research (RITR)
Founded by Dr. Mona Rakhawy with the aim of consolidating, following up, and expanding authentic psychotherapy and related therapeutic practices in Egypt and globally.
We Promote Efficiency
Rakhawy Institute provides training and conducts research in various fields to promote the efficiency of both specialists and non-specialists involved in mental health. We implement cultural activities, lead conferences, and organize events with the aim of raising community awareness of the culture of mental health at preventive as well as curative levels.
Our History Revolves around Mental Health and Group Work
Our story begins in the late sixties from inside the corridors of the Faculty of Psychiatry at Cairo University, when Dr. Yehia Rakhawy began practicing individual and group psychotherapy.
About Us
Rakhawy Institute for Training and Research (RITR)
- An NGO founded by Prof. Mona Rakhawy to consolidate, continue and expand authentic psychotherapy and related practices in Egypt and the world.
- The practice of psychotherapy owes much to the lifelong efforts of Prof. Yehia Rakhawy, who has mentored generations of professionals over the last 50 years. Using group psychotherapy and therapeutic community/milieu therapy, he has trained skillful specialists that spread his approach around the world. One of the aims of RITR is to acknowledge and crown this rich legacy.
- RITR also works on expanding the therapeutic community to a specialized training community. Our services encompass the mental health field and hold a deep commitment to the community at large.
Training
The Training Unit develops and delivers training programs and courses in a variety of topics to sharpen the skills of specialists and further the knowledge of non-specialists involved in the field of mental health.
The programs include cultural activities and events that raise community awareness and promote the culture of mental health at both preventive and curative levels.
Research
The Research Unit is responsible for assisting scientific research chosen by supervisors or by the institute. This process involves compiling data, critically analyzing information, and interpreting results, where the published research studies advance scholarly literature, support future research, and enhance decision-making.

We provide a bunch of internships in different fields.
