The focus will be on community, social and political issues related to mental health and learning to facilitate these processes in our work.
Individuals carry processes belonging to the collective. The dominant beliefs and systems of value in our societies allow only certain ways of being and perceiving, and deny or marginalise the rest.
We will explore, amongst others, cross-cultural issues in working with altered and extreme states, as well as collective edges, dynamics of rank and privilege, impact of mental health labels and stigmatization, diversity themes and alternative movements in Mental Health.
Facilitation, psychotherapy and mental health: Dimensions in the ecology of mind and society
Annual course
The course is offered as a one year programme in its own right and for those interested in further training. It is possible to transition from this course to the Diploma programme and the UKCP accredited psychotherapy training (with some additional requirements to be fulfilled). The programme is based on a cohort model ( a closed group working together for 1 year) which fosters intense learning, deep interaction, and collaboration.
We have been deeply involved in practice and research in this field as well as having personal interests and passions for facilitating change and welcoming more inclusive and respectful approaches. We are a diverse group of individuals with different nationalities, ethnic and familial backgrounds and other diverse identities which fuel our shared passions for thinking and relating creatively to the different states and processes we call ‘mental health’.
