Sharing resources for therapists who want to help those impacted by the war

We are delighted to share the many useful resources created by the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy to aid Ukraine, and to signpost them to those who want to help, particularly therapists.

The resources include government information for refugees, psychological support possibilities, theoretical references for war situations and trauma etc, and donation links.

Race and diversity bursary provision

We offer bursary provision across all of our training courses to provide financial support to those who are on low incomes and from an under-represented ethnic group.

 We are also developing a mentoring scheme where our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students are offered a Mentor from a current or recent Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic trainee.

The Training team have ongoing reviews of how issues of race are covered in both the curriculum and other teaching resources.

This also includes ensuring an inclusive CPD programme with expert practitioners and clinicians from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups.

Although we still have some way to go to realise our ambitions to increase diversity across our organisation, this year we have
increased the number of staff identifying as being from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, employed on our trainings as clinical lecturers, group analysts, and workshop facilitators.
