Following sold out conferences in London in June 2015 and Liverpool 2017, Beyond the Therapy Room (#BtTR) is back with an event in Cardiff, in collaboration with the Clinical Psychology Fringe Festival and the Division of Clinical Psychology (DCP) annual conference.
Beyond the Therapy Room will be held on Friday 19th January 2018. The conference will focus on ways in which health professionals and services can improve physical and emotional wellbeing and help to build a more psychologically caring society, in broader ways than traditional 1-1 psychological therapy.
This year we have decided to focus the event on children and young people, with an exciting line up of speakers discussing innovative practice – highlighting ways in which we can improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people at broader levels.
The day is aimed at people with or without formal training in psychology or healthcare, including qualified or aspiring clinical psychologists, other healthcare professionals with an interest in mental health and wellbeing, and people who have become experts through their own experiences of distress or mental health problems.
Recognising the cultural, political and social processes involved in suffering, distress and mental health, the conference brings together people who work in and/or use mental health services to highlight innovative ways of working and share best practice - working in ways which go beyond the therapy room.
The event is non-profit and run at cost price to keep ticket prices accessible, with lunch included. Any questions, please get in touch at beyondthetherapyroom@gmail.com.
Full line up to be announced shortly - check out www.psychologyfringe.com and @clinpsychfringe on twitter for more info! Any questions please email beyondthetherapyroom@gmail.com.
