The Trainee Experience: supporting politically engaged trainees
Friday 25th April 2025, 3-4pm

Future Topics:
Being a Therapist-Activist: defining our activist projects
How do we integrate working towards social justice and transformation as part of our therapeutic practice? What dilemmas or questions do you come up against in your efforts to do so?
FTN Membership or FTN Community Building?: commitments and involvements
Does the FTN stay as a grassroots community, or move into being a membership body? What non-financial commitments might membership ask for?
Feminist Therapy and Private Practice: embodying values
Is private practice and feminism oxymoronic? Can we embody feminist values and ethics whilst maintaining a privatised system of therapeutic practice?
Is there a theme or dilemma you would like to explore and / or host? Please get in touch with your suggestions.
