CAT in Prisons
Judy Faulkner writes: I often recommend CAT for prisoners in parole reports but I have no idea which prisons offer this. The National Offender Management System has a database of more or less everything which is offered in prisons unless it is through the PCT as that is NHS based. If you could let me know who offers CAT in prisons and NHS units too, it would be very helpful for writers of parole reports, the prisoners and the Parole Board. I could also let NOMS know too which can only help spread the word of CAT. Read More...

Innovations in the Application CAT: Celebrating 10+ years of CAT North Practitioner Training : Friday, 13 June, 2008 : Conference in Manchester
This conference celebrates the range of applications of CAT by graduates of ACAT North in the past fifteen years. Psychological therapies have changed greatly in this time and we hope the conference will be an opportunity for us to take stock of the varied contributions of CAT: its limits, strengths and possibilities. The venue offers an excellent, self contained and convivial venue and the cost of the day includes teas and coffees and buffet lunch. It is three miles south of the city centre. The conference is likely to book up quickly as there are only 100 spaces. Please click on this news item link for a link to the events page for full information and booking details. Read More...
