In an increasingly digital world, therapists are discovering innovative ways to create accessible and engaging services for children, young people and families. Digital tools—including digital sandtrays and videogames—offer new opportunities to connect with clients in meaningful ways, supporting therapeutic work in both face-to-face and online settings. This interactive course explores how these tools can be integrated into practice to enhance engagement and therapeutic outcomes. 

This training is designed for systemic practitioners and family therapists. It will also be useful for anyone that works therapeutically with children and families. This course will take place on Thursday 15th October between 09:30am to 16:30pm.

Supported by the Maudsley Eating Disorder Service

Multi-family group treatment is a growing evidence-based intervention which is used as an adjunct to single family therapy. The format draws on the experience of a number of families and increases motivation, commitment and a sense of sharing between them. This collective experience is balanced by the presence of staff members who guide families during a range of exercises and most crucially during lunch and snack times. The intensive days are spent in a range of ‘sub-groups’ including young people, siblings, and parents on their own.

Multi-family groups have been adapted for a range of presentations including adult mental health issues, ADHD, and paediatric illnesses. 

This experiential training seeks to orientate clinicians into the full workings of a group. A number of the key exercises used in each group will be practiced and each participant will take up a role in a created family. The training will be suitable and beneficial for any clinician working with a diagnosis of eating disorder, whether in CAMHS or adult services. Significant systemic facilitation techniques will be demonstrated and later deconstructed. The Maudsley Manual for MFGT will be followed and adapted.

This training will be delivered by Louise Cooper & Jo Sleep.

Our resiliency is regularly challenged in our personal, clinical and professional lives. These challenges are especially evident within healthcare roles, whether this be within the NHS, third sector or charitable organisations, given the demands and complexity working as part of the mental and physical health workforce. Recognition has resulted in several developments, including a session focusing on enhancing resiliency incorporated into several training curricula. 

This workshop is open to PWP's & MHWP's only and will be held remotely via Zoom from 09:30am to 16:30pm.

This half-day workshop focuses specifically on helping you start and/or progress your KSA portfolio wherever you currently find yourself on the KSA portfolio journey in your aspiration to become a CBT therapist.  If you want to train as a CBT therapist, and you do not already hold a core profession, you will need complete a KSA portfolio as part of your training or for independent submission. This workshop will offer you the opportunity to learn about what is expected for your KSA portfolio, to go through all the sections with you and answer specific questions to help complete the KSA portfolio for yourselves with greater ease. We will answer questions such as:

What and how much should I write for my KSA self-statements? 

Who can I ask to be a referee?

Do I qualify for a “condensed KSA portfolio” or will I need to complete the “full KSA portfolio”?

What specific evidence do I need to include, and what counts as appropriate evidence?

All these questions and more will be covered in our half-day workshop: Getting A Head Start with Your KSA.

We are delighted to welcome you to the 7th International Conference on Social Identity and Health, returning to its roots at the University of Exeter. The seed that was planted here more than 10 years ago has grown into a vibrant global community of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers exploring the profound ways in which social identity shapes health and wellbeing.

This year’s conference marks a special milestone: a celebration of ICSIH’s return to where it all began. As we gather once again in the heart of Devon, we invite you to reflect on the progress made, the collaborations forged, and the challenges ahead in applying social identity theory to real-world health contexts.

Join us for three days of cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary dialogue, and community-building in a city known for its academic excellence and natural beauty. Whether you're presenting new findings, engaging in workshops, or reconnecting with colleagues, ICSIH7 promises to be a landmark event in the evolution of social identity and health research.

Note: Please purchase a ticket to the public lecture via this registration form only if you are not planning to register for the conference, as this event is included in the registration fee for conference attendees. Tickets can only be purchased one at a time. To purchase multiple tickets, please check out separately for each one.

Join Lisa Lea-Weston for an ecosystemic psychotherapy workshop on on 23rd June 2026.

This session will explore what it means to take supervisory practice into natural settings, inviting participants to consider how working outdoors can shape reflection, connection, and insight. It will examine the ways in which nature can support thinking and feeling across both human systems and the wider ecological world.

Through a blend of practical, reflective, experiential, and creative approaches, the day will offer opportunities to engage directly with these ideas. Lisa will draw on case studies from her work supervising therapists as well as senior leaders in education and other helping professions, illustrating how nature-informed practice can unfold in diverse contexts.

The course is designed for supervisors who are curious about working in nature, as well as those already doing so who wish to deepen their inquiry and explore emerging questions. Participants will be invited to step outside—both literally and metaphorically—and to consider how engaging with the natural environment can expand and enrich supervisory practice.
