SUMMARY:Equality\, Diversity\, Inclusion (EDI) & Anti-Discrimination Framework (TADF) Cafe - in person\, Bond Street. With Mamood Ahmad.
DESCRIPTION:EDI/TADF Cafe – ‘Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion/The Anti-Discrimination Framework Café’ – Friday\, 19th of June\, near Bond St Tube\, 6-9pm. With Mamood Ahmad and Leon Berry. \nBooking Link: https://events.humanitix.com/equality-diversity-inclusion-anti-discrimination-framework-tadf-cafe \nFor all therapist colleagues passionate about EDI and TADF developments\, this is an opportunity to meet\, network\, and try the ‘Cafe Model’ of community development within this framework. The event gives 1.5 hours of CPD – the Cafe model is a paedagogical concept developed by Death Cafe (deathcafe.com) facilitating communities of likeminded people to practice focused listening and empathic resonance with each other. \nThis is our first Themed Café\, and it is co-facilitated by Mamood Ahmad\, who has just published his book ‘New Introduction to Counselling Psychology’ and created The Anti-Discrimination Focus (TADF) initiative. \nMamood’s work provides an ambitious\, comprehensive framework for systematically including the factors of race\, class\, gender\, religion\, sexuality and disability\, intersectionality and associated societal power-dynamics into clinical thinking and practice. It is designed for therapists’ training programs and includes therapists’ reflexivity on their own position in the socio-economic-cultural frame. It has been adopted by tutors in several major training organisations\, such as Metanoia Institute\, NAOS Institute\, Keele University\, Caspari Foundation\, Warwick University and many others. \nHere is a video summarising his approach: https://vimeo.com/1166075933 \nMamood will be speaking at the UKCP conference on the 19th of June and co-facilitate our EDI/TADF Café afterwards\, where he will share his experiences with implementing the framework so far. This Café is further co-facilitated by Leon Berry\, who has attended our Cafés and has agreed to consult for Therapists Café to help us provide an inclusive space for colleagues of all backgrounds to feel welcome – as\, sadly\, this has not been the experience for him during his own training. His website: https://www.asafeplace2talk.co.uk/about-me/ \nThis Café is for all colleagues across disciplines who are working on themselves and their practice to push the envelope for our profession to become as conscious as possible and to help facilitate holistic change. Psychoanalytic thought is welcome\, as we want to include the ‘unconscious’ in our thinking (and action) – e.g. the intersection of formative object relations and cultural process\, like splitting\, projection and oedipal competition across the fault-lines of structural oppression. \nThe Café is a networking opportunity for colleagues working on the same themes to support and inspire each other. From the Café-side\, it is an attempt to use the ‘Café model’ for the reflective space to foster a positive group synergy of agency and hope around a subject matter that can otherwise be bleak. \nThere will be more detailed information in the booking emails for those who are interested to join\, and we are currently working on an EDI policy for our website. \n NB: this event is a Cafe/Salon event\, NOT therapy. While great care is taken to provide a safe\, empathic space\, participants are required to manage their own emotional process.  \nBooking: https://events.humanitix.com/equality-diversity-inclusion-anti-discrimination-framework-tadf-cafe \nFor news on further Cafes\, please sign up to our newsletter: https://gsforms.net/GSN-521998-Z/5bdc53f1-4574-4f2d-85e1-8784b27caa23 \nThe contribution is £15 for room rent and snacks
