The club will aim to meet once a month and a movie will be shown followed by a conversation between audience members on various aspects of the film and its links with psychiatry, psychology and psychotherapy. The Institute of CBT Coaching will provide a continuing professional development (CPD) letter confirming two hours of CPD for clinicians attending.

The project was funded by donations made in memory of Mrs Ginty Liell a long time supporter and former fundraiser of the Association. The original website was entirely constructed by Mr Dave Page and launched in 1999, the new site encompasses much of his fine work and he still offers help with technical issues on the site. |
