The International Group
We are delighted to invite you to join the the TCTC International Group (You can convert the times to your own time zone here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter-classic.html)
This group would aim to bring together international members and non members to ‘consort’ together, to develop our understanding and support of your work, to learn from each other and consider together the creative possibilities for mutual cooperation and support. This is a broad objective, and more specific aims and objectives can be developed democratically in dialogue with each other.
Please note this group is only for those living and working outside of the UK. If you are within the UK The Adult Mental Health Network or Children’s Network are available for you
