TC Values

TC Values
Thursday 2nd  April 2026
9.30 – 11.00
Online Via Zoom
This session will introduce the Values that underpin good Therapeutic practice, in therapeutic communities and other therapeutic settings. A values-based approach leads to best practice and best outcomes and this session will help you make links between our shared values and your service. The workshop will review how and why the TCTC values were developed in partnership with the Community of Communities quality improvement programme. You will make links between the values, the quality improvement standards and your own service and practice.
