Beyond Aims In/Equality: Embedding Thinking Space & Action in CAT Training & Practice

This CPD day, organised by ACAT's Equality and Diversity Committee, brings together CAT therapists, trainees and other interested people to consider how we can better embed thinking around inequality into CAT training, supervision and practice.  A range of speakers will present current theory and practice examples where CAT is used as a framework for understanding and responding to inequalities, across diverse settings and communities.

The day will include thinking space and discussion to help participants consider how to embed these issues in their own practice, training or supervisory contexts.  It will include reference to chapters in Julie Lloyd & Rachel Pollard (eds) publication "Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Politics of Mental Health".  There will be a number of reduced cost copies of this publication available to buy on the day.  We also hope to share resources and an update on the newly established Diversity and Inequality Special Interest Group led by Jessie Emilion.
