🏴 This past Saturday, UKCP members gathered in Glasgow for a day of connection, learning and professional dialogue, organised by the UKCP Scotland group.
Thank you to everyone who attended.
#Psychotherapy #Scotland #UKCP
ALT UKCP members in Scotland listen to a keynote talk at a Glasgow event.
This autumn we attended five party conferences – @Conservatives, @TheGreenParty, @UKLabour, @LibDems and @reformparty_uk – to understand what each party is proposing for mental health policy and to advocate for psychotherapy.
Attendance is not an endorsement of any party. 1/3
Across every conference we made the case for reduced waiting times, NHS psychotherapy access and a compassionate welfare system.
We will challenge any proposal, from any party, that would reduce support for people with mental health conditions.
