Conference 2007/08 Annual
Conference 2007/08 CCYP Conference Update: Dr Mike Shooter, CBE Closing keynote speaker at Newcastle conference CCYP are delighted to announce that Dr Mike Shooter, CBE will deliver the closing keynote speech at the second Transitions: creative responses to change conference to be held in Newcastle on 9 February 2008. Mike has held strategic positions within a variety of organisations. He is the immediate Past President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, having previously been its Registrar and Director of Public Education and in ‘retirement’ he is Chair of YoungMinds and is a vice-president of BACP. For the past 25 years he has practised as a child and adolescent psychiatrist and led multidisciplinary teams working with deprived children and their carers in the old mining valleys of South Wales. Mike’s work at senior levels within organisations, combined with his practical experiences as a psychiatrist working with children and adolescents, make him the ideal person to deliver an informed and entertaining speech that will connect with feelings that have been expressed during the day and the ‘transitions’ theme of the conference. Below is a short précis of the speech that Mike will deliver: 'All life, you might say, is about change. Growing-up is the process by which children progress from one developmental stage to another, complete the tasks appropriate to each stage, and move on. Individual children put their own stamp on that process but the issues (with some important caveats) are common to all of us. Yet life is never quite that simple. Children do not live in a vacuum and their development may be affected by all sorts of changes thrust upon them from outside – illness, peer group pressures, educational demands and family turmoil. Children struggle to survive such changes, with their particular mixture of resilience and vulnerability. Counselling can do much to help children in the midst of change, but counsellors may themselves be in transition, in both their personal and professional lives. And the nature of counselling itself is under review. This keynote examines how changes at all levels – client, helper and profession – can feed into each other, for good or ill.’ 'Transitions: creative responses to change' CCYP are pleased to announce that the next CCYP conference will be entitled 'Transitions: creative responses to change'. The conference will be held in two locations London and Newcastle upon Tyne. Conference 2007/08 brochure now available! To download the Conference 2007/08 brochure click the link below.
