UPCOMING EVENTS
Gender, Sexual & Relationship Diversity (GSRD): An Introduction for Therapists
Dates: Sat 17 & Sun 18 June 2023, 9:30 – 16:30
Delivery: Online through PCI College Microsoft Teams
This short course is designed to help therapists better understand the rich and constantly evolving world of gender, sexual, and relationship diversity, as well as their own values and beliefs around these areas.
The two days will be underpinned by a spirit of curiosity and openness, with the recognition that within this learning may also come the need to ‘un-learn’ or challenge some established beliefs and assumptions.
