BACP is running a workshop in Belfast on 26th October 2010 that will cover practical issues about law as it relates to therapy practice and some of the major issues in managing ethical practice within the law. The sessions in the workshop address issues relevant to work in a wide variety of settings including:
The Western Health & Social Services Board will be holding a series of half-day workshops in the Foyle area to introduce its Go Girls Resource Pack which is full of practical activities to help support girls emotional development and build self-esteem.
The half-day course is for staff from the Statutory/Community and Voluntary sectors who work with adolescent girls.
We reported at the beginning of April that BACP are planning to hold an event in Belfast on 2nd June 2010 (www.nitherapy.net/?p=529). No venue had been set for this event, but we can now report that it will be held at the Europa Hotel, Belfast.
The event is free for BACP members. Details of the programme can be found at: http://www.bacp.co.uk/makingconnections/Belfast/index.php.
Are you keen to meet other BACP members, get involved in your local area, or to have your say about issues affecting the profession? If so, then this event is aimed at you. The event will have an outline programme, including CPD, a keynote speaker and updates on developments within the profession but a significant part of the content will be decided by you, whether that is a local issue you would like to raise and discuss or a national concern on which you would appreciate an update.
BACP will be holding an accreditation workshop in Belfast on 25th May 2010 at The Wellington Park Hotel.
It is a one day workshop led by a member of the BACP professional standards assessment team to offer information and support to those looking for help and guidance regarding all aspects of the BACP accreditation process.
Costs: £45.00
A one-day workshop hosted by Prof. Dave Mearns, will be held at Stranmillis College, Belfast on Thursday 29th April 2010. Daves says:
NIGAT – Northern Ireland Group for Art as Therapy is a unique forum of individuals who advocate the use of Art as Therapy and Art Therapy to facilitate health and well-being. An important part of NIGAT’s role is to increase awareness of the value of the therapeutic art approach.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy will be holding a regional event in Belfast on Saturday 13th February 2010. The event will take place at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall and provides an opportunity for local practitioners to meet some of the UKCP Officers, to share experiences of practising in the area, and to contribute to developing UKCP as a professional membership organisation.

This experiential weekend workshop is open to individuals who wish to engage in some personal exploration and development, through the use of art, drama and action methods. It aims to offer a safe, relaxing and inspiring space in which participants can reflect on themselves and their lives within a group setting.
