Virtual Workplace Wellbeing Meetings
Show content
As part of our members’ wellbeing work stream we are initiating Virtual Workplace Wellbeing Group Meetings to offer a space for support, connection, reflection and learning.

Please note: these meetings are not therapy groups.

These group meetings will be weekly and run for one hour, and will be hosted and facilitated by two members of the DCP Executive Group.

The number of group members in each of the meeting will be limited to 15. Bookings will be stopped after that number is reached. People can join one meeting or more but there will be an expectation to stay for the whole duration of the meeting to minimize disruption.

Doing What Matters: Value-Driven Clinical Psychology in Action

Tuesday 2nd March and Wednesday 3rd March

It has been a year like no other. The global pandemic has brought incredible challenge, across health, education, public life, industry and all sectors of society. It has brought into sharper focus the inequalities that have long-existed. The virus itself is affecting some communities more than others.

The Division of Clinical Psychology Virtual Conference 2021 will highlight the vital need to refresh our values - the reasons we exist as a profession - and cruicially, to identify actions at all levels of our practice, which will move us in the direction of what is valuable and most meaningful in our spheres of influence.

Building Compassionate Communities Together

Further to our successful webinar earlier in the year, we'd like to invite you to join us for an on-line event over two days that will run from late morning Thursday 3rd December to early afternoon on Friday 4th December.

The focus of the event will be on Building Compassionate Communities Together; particularly important as we live through the current global pandemic.

This is the fourth in a series of events that the Division of Clinical Psychology Expert by Experience Group have co-produced with Experts by Experience. These events have focused on different parts of the country and the pre-COVID planning for this event was the North East - hence a large number of the people contributing are from this area. We'd love to hear from you about where you'd like to see future events focused!

Contributions include music, talks, poetry, discussion and performances from voluntary sector and NHS organisations that are offering important support led or co-produced with Experts by Experience, such as Streetwise Opera, Freedom From Torture, Fulfilling Lives, Joe Wilson (piano), Recovery Connections, Fallen Angels, gobscure (performance poet), ReCoCo, Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, CNTW NHS Foundation Trust, and TEWV NHS Foundation Trust.
