The APT’s Free 1-hour Wednesday Webinars.
This page covers the FREE webinars for mental health professionals and others, to help you help people get through the COVID-19 crisis as well as they possibly can do. (For full details of your distance learning options click here).
The Association for Psychological Therapies' key principle is to offer the most relevant and engaging input for mental health professionals (in this case, to help you help people get through the COVID-19 crisis), and every Wednesday from the 8th April we have been hosting a series of FREE live webinars and hope to do so until they cease to be relevant.
Below is the current program: you are welcome to attend any or all of the webinars, joining in as much or as little as you wish.

Live Webinars
Receiving a rapturous reception right now, Live Webinars from the APT are pleasingly interactive, and slightly shorter and cheaper than the live face-to-face courses. The APT’s Live Webinars are available for nearly all our courses, and have full APT registration, accreditation and certification, as well as access to post course resources and the downloadable workbook. Our Live Webinars are very engaging, and managers ordering quantities have a ‘completion guarantee’ (you only pay for completed courses).
Webinar Reviews.
Here is just some of the great feedback APT live webinars have received.
"I was impressed with the quality of this webinar, and surprised by how engaging it was despite it being online ... the tutor navigated discussing the slides, reading the chat, introducing and discussing the exercises and videos with ease. It felt very calm and professional. I enjoyed the extra clinical examples and recommendations from him and delegates."
“Really enjoyable and interesting three days … I was unsure as to how the online format would work but the tutor's calm training style, plus the combination of taught elements, exercises and videos, plus various means to communicate, worked really well!”
