If you are interested in joining us for one of these workshops, you need to be a mental health professional interested in using group and community methods in your clinical practice. We ask all applicants to fill in a short form about their expectations of the event, and we reserve the right to refuse a place if we feel it is necessary. We monitor the usefulness of the workshops both in the events themselves, and with feedback questionnaires a few weeks afterwards. The workshop is counted by ATC towards a multidisciplinary training portfolio, and has been accredited by the Royal College of Psychiatrists for 13 external module hours of Continuing Professional Development time.

For application forms or to apply for a place, please contact the ATC office: by email from here, or by phone/fax to Sue Matoff: (+44) (0)20 8950 9557.
