"We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims
beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself."Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison (1943-1945)
IFTCC Conference 2022 | Standing for Freedom: Advancing Professional and Pastoring Counselling Work
How can we safeguard basic human rights to live in harmony with our deeply held beliefs and values – when therapeutic choice is under threat? What are the legal challenges? What is the role of research? Science confirms that same-sex attractions and transgender conditions are not simply inborn. Relational trauma may have a significant impact on the development of personal and sexual identity. It is becoming increasingly difficult for strugglers to find appropriate, evidence-based, accountable support. There is a great need for professionally sound and ethically grounded, research-based modalities of therapy and counselling. Our conference will look at several approaches and possibilities through a wide range of talks, workshops, discussion and networking.
