DECEMBER NEWSLETTER 2016 Welcome to the final Edition of Pink Therapy News for 2016: In last month's editorial I mentioned there are some significant changes afoot both for Pink Therapy and me personally. It's timely share some of these with you now as the year end approaches.  As you're probably aware I have built Pink Therapy into a well respected, internationally recognised organisation over the last 17 years but I've done this largely single handed and it's unrealistic for me to continue working at such an intense pace in all the areas we're moved into. I am planning to create Pink Therapy into a franchise and hoping to sell some parts of the business and hand over the running of some core aspects of Pink Therapy, in particular the marketing and delivery of our face-to-face trainings, to a small group of people (largely drawn from the Clinical Associate team) who will become Pink Therapy (London).  I hope they will revistalise and bring exciting new developments to the organisation.  I will remain CEO and continue to develop the Online Diploma, and promote many new stand alone CPD units for people unable to come to London and attend our Face-to-Face events but who are hungry for training.  I will also continue to co-ordinate our Annual conference and manage the Directory & Website (we're having a new one built).  Over the next couple of years, I hope to develop the 'brand' of Pink Therapy in other parts of the world and so if you're interested in forming a connection to us, let me know. Finally, on a personal note I'm about to move out of London to the South Coast (from the begining of January). I'll maintain a small private practice for 2 days a week in London. There are exciting times ahead and I've been very pre-occupied with the future of Pink Therapy and grateful for the support I've been receiving from colleagues at home and abroad. With best wishes to you for the holiday season however you may celebrate it and here's to an exciting New Year! Dominic Davies - CEO NOW RECRUITING Post Graduate Diploma in GSRD Therapy We've begun recruiting for our third cohort of students Our two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) Therapy will commence with a week long residential in July 2017 and the rest of the course will be followed online.  This is a unique opportunity to develop confidence and expertise in working with a wide range of clients.  This course attracts therapists from around the world.  The course is accredited by the National Council of Psychotherapists and has Advanced Specialist Training status with the National Counselling Society.  Interviews will commence in January 2017 Further details and Prospectus New Publication: Critical & Experiential: Dimensions in Gender and Sexual Diversity Critical & Experiential: Dimensions in Gender and Sexual Diversity is a multidisciplinary collection of chapters written from within the newly emerging field in gender and sexual diversity (GSD) that moves beyond the LGBTQ(IA) acronym to include non-binary and heterosexual variation.  The contributions are primarily aimed at mental health, psychology and psychotherapy practitioners and teachers, as well as those working with psychological aspects of social sciences and legal theory. The concepts of 'critical' and 'critique' are reframed throughout as experientially provoked thinking and thought. This collection provides a practical reference handbook to critique our range and styles of learning, teaching and interventions in the GSD field. However, it is also a stimulus to broader questions about mental health in the psychological organization of social and professional values that, painfully, still demand to be voiced, if not critiqued. This an exciting collection of original, cutting-edge thinking from those living and working within the newly emerging field of gender and sexual diversity (GSD). The real diversity of human nature, human experience and human histories provoke, demand and generate critical thinking. The lived experiences shared in this book stand as a testament to this diversity. Voices which need to be heard! Available for purchase at Resonance Publications.

Please contact Resonance Publications for further information. Make Your Own Relationship User Guide Make Your Own Relationship User Guide is a newly published zine guide from Meg-John Barker and Justin Hancock. Many of us have grown up thinking that love is something that we have no control over: that if we have to work on our relationships then it's not natural and it's not real love.  We think love is a combination of something you make happen as well as it happening to you. What if we could try a more consensual and intentional way of doing relationships? That's what this zine is about.   "It's an excellent resource packed with exercises for therapists and their clients to explore the kind of relationships they want." (Dominic Davies - CEO) The zine is available to purchase here for only £2.50! A TO Z OF SEX PODCAST Dominic was interviewed for the A to Z of Sex Podcast last month.

Dear all,

IARS International Institute are working with organisations from Greece, Cyprus, Netherlands and Italy to under take a research and training project on the experiences of LGBT migrants in Europe.

As part of this project IARS International Institute are looking to recruit volunteers to join a European wide advisory board for an EU funded research project on the experiences of LGBT migrants.

The Advisory board will be open to academics, practitioners and LGBT migrants themselves from across Europe  and will involve advising on research findings and subsequent publications and training material through online engagement ad quarterly Skype meetings.

It is expected that there will need to be a 2-4 hour commitment a month.

To find out more about the project as a whole please  go to the project websitehttp://www.epsilonproject.eu/

In the next few weeks we will also be looking for similar participants to complete a short survey either as their experiences of being an LGBT migrant in the UK or as a practitioner working in the field.

For more information about the project please e mail James on j.alexander@iars.org.uk

To apply to be a part of the advisory board, please send a CV to j.alexander@iars.org.uk
