Open letter to the #UKCP on the election of its Chair #UK #Counselling #Psychotherapy https://openletter.earth/open-letter-to-the-ukcp-on-the-election-of-its-chair-27c5c47f

I see #UKCP chair and trustee elections are coming up https://www.psychotherapy.org.uk/about-ukcp/elections/ #Counselling #Psychotherapy #Democracy I have #EDI concerns about one of the candidates.

The #UKCP Board of Trustees will continue in their positions following the conclusion of the removal election. I’m pleased they have been held to account and hope for more meaningful connection and consultation on EDI issues.

Following the UKCP board decision to withdraw from the MOU and from membership of the Coalition Against Conversion Therapy, Therapists Against Conversion Therapy and Transphobia (TACTT) put out an open letter and collected signatures from UKCP members which led to the UKCP board being called to account.

A response to the #UKCP statement on withdrawing from the #Memorandum of Understanding on #Conversion #Therapy v2

Open letter to #UKCP following recent withdrawal from the MoU2 on conversion therapy https://openletter.earth/ukcps-recent-withdrawal-from-the-mou2-on-conversion-therapy-08bbfbd8 #ConversionTherapy #LGBT #Counsellors #Psychotherapists #therapists

“UKCP remains fully committed in its belief that conversion therapy seeking to change or deny a person’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity is harmful and must not be practised. However, after very careful consideration, UKCP has taken the decision to withdraw its signature from the Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy in the UK v2 (MoU) and its membership of the Coalition Against Conversion Therapy.” #UKCP #Trans #therapy #ConversionTherapy

Tonight am participating in United Kingdom Council for #Psychotherapy ( #UKCP ) #Humanistic and #Integrative Psychotherapy College (HIPC) Equality, diversity and inclusion ( #EDI ) meeting.

I'm most sorry to hear that the #SCoPEd framework has been adopted by #BACP #UKCP and others. I think it embeds modality politics and further structurally disempowers those already power down in society while providing no benefit for clients.

Really wanting to see more #TherapyChat on here...

@jdannan @Ruth_Mottram Aye, that would help. I helped designed the Future Forecast in 2020, set in July 2050 to create a weather "forecast" from #UKCP data. The 30 year period essentially a generational jump (kids are your age, you are your parents age etc) and that resonated with people quite well.
