Show contentWellbeing: some insights into meanings and practices across cultures
Friday 22 October 10.00am - 4.00pm
You are invited to join us in this exciting conference as we move away from the Western trend of looking at mental health through the narrow lens of diagnosis and categorisation, and look towards some Eastern, African-oriented and Asian understandings of Wellbeing. Through exploring insights into meanings and practices of Wellbeing across cultures, we will see what we can learn from our international speakers, and how we can better serve marginalised groups within the UK.
Learning Outcomes:
- Develop awareness of issues and themes to consider some similarities and differences within and between Eastern and Western philosophies of Wellbeing.
- Explore Wellbeing in terms of meanings and practices across cultures.
- Draw on the presenters’ professional, clinical and lived experiences of working with Wellbeing across cultures.
- Reflect on how some insights into meanings and practices across cultures impact the way we conceptualise Wellbeing.
- Reflect on what Wellbeing can mean and how some insights from today can shape our own practices across the cultures we each inhabit.

The Brave New World of Psychotherapy
We are hoping this event will encourage discussions regarding the changing landscape of psychotherapy practice and training.
Our three main themes are:
-
How the overarching (macro) socio-political changes to the general healthcare landscape such as the way the NHS is moving online and the world of therapy becoming virtual, will shape the future landscape of psychotherapy training, practice and service delivery
-
How the changing landscape will bear down on middle level (meso) culturally appropriate psychotherapy services delivered to already disenfranchised people, and recommendations to helping professionals
-
The (micro) level of grassroots therapy - presented by The Cassandra Centre. Cassandra provides community-based therapy plus has an active outreach programme. The way they have changed their ways of intervening could be a model for others, particularly when engaging with mental health. We’ll explore how the grassroots can shape the socio-political in a circular process.
