We have written an open letter and petition calling for the removal of UKCP’s trustees after their decision to remove themselves as signatories to the MoU on conversion therapy. Conversion therapy kills. Join us! bit.ly/UKCPMoU?fbclid… #TherapistsConnect #LGBT

Can this open letter get over the 1000 signature mark today? It is signed by many of the representatives of our member organisations. We have the greatest power to effect change when we come together. If you haven't added your name already, please do:

We've been working, on behalf of therapists and clients, to seek transparency from BACP about the many departures from the org, and the implications for the BACP board. After several months, we are sorry to say BACP will not heed our request for clarity.

Excellent piece on #SCoPEd from our partner member TPCA .
the-pca.org.uk/blog/welcomean…

PCP will be releasing a collective response to the latest developments in due course.

Very true. You can find a place of sanctuary with us. We don’t have a SCoPEd small group at present but would be open to a member starting one as a way to organise a response. We’ve looked at becoming a MB before but can’t make the numbers add up- prof. conducts are expensive :(

Is everyone aware that the @bacp Dept Chair has gone? Anyone received any notice about it at all? Can’t seem to find any info online! 🤷🏻‍♀️ #TherapistsConnect #TherapistTwitter PCUnion Partners for Counselling and Psychotherapy

Let's remember, we can't vote yes for something we don't know the implications of: WE STILL DONT KNOW WHAT TITLE WILL BE KEPT FOR THE TOP TIER.
The parallels to Brexit are remarkable - they are asking us to vote on something without giving us all the information. We must vote NO

PCP’s statement of concern to BACP …sforcounsellingandpsychotherapy.co.uk/bacp-statement…

tPCA are a member of this organisation and are deeply concerned about what is happening in our ethical bodies at present #TherapistsConnect

Partners for Counselling and Psychotherapy Fee Hutch (she/her) I obviously, as a lay person, don't understand all the ins/outs but it seems to me that if you don't involve the membership & directly address their concerns, then any organisation is doomed to fail. Surely Charity Commission needs to be involved.

Congratulations to Marvis Stewart (she/her) MNCS (Accred) and Maria Albertsen on this fantastic achievement.

Our Statement of Concern, sent today to the BACP Board of Directors

What this update from BACP says is that two senior managers of this professional body have resigned after a sustained period of turbulence in the most powerful #psychotherapy & #counselling body in the UK. Here's why this is a problem #mentalhealth #SCoPEd #riskmanagement 1/

'... work is not a health outcome.' 'Real therapy does not aim to return individuals to the workplace or to keep them in jobs that may be economically insecure, psychologically toxic, systemically oppressive and personally damaging.'

Therapy is already in a dynamic, evolving, relationally-held framework via: ethics; supervision; peer support/challenge; theory; philosophy; history; values; research etc w/ agreement & creative conflict. The problem is that #SCoPEd ’s reductionist taxonomy harms this rich ecology
