Our Chair Jessie Emilion & Trustee Anne Benson are soon to be hosting the first of two online membership conversations. They have invited all current ACAT members and hope for a good turn out. These take place on Tuesday 3 December 2024 from 9:30 to 11 am, and Thursday 5 December 5.30 to 7 pm.
ACAT’s Board of Trustees are inviting members to share what they’d like from ACAT as an organisation. They are also seeking members’ ideas for ACAT’s strategic direction in the coming years. The meetings are open to all trainee CAT practitioners, qualified CAT therapists and CAT psychotherapists.
If part of the conversation includes how ACAT shapes its online presence we will update here. We are busily working towards launching ACAT’s brand new website next year. We hope that the new site will include, integrate or adapt material from this public engagement pilot site.
ACAT set up the site you are on right now to try and test ways to explain cognitive analytic therapy to people who may be interested in it as a therapy or approach for themselves, or those they care for. An open survey launched through social media (Twitter at the time) guided the early part of this process. Then two groups of Experts By Experience generously shared their views and ideas in meetings held in 2018 and 2019. Mark Brown facilitated these meetings and we’re grateful for his help.
If you have any more feedback about what you’d like to see in our our new website, then please do contact us.
