Event overview:

Are you looking for innovative and creative ways of working with your clients online?

Would you like to discover how therapists across the world are using new ways of working?

If so, this year’s ACTO Conference is for you!

The Conference takes you on a journey of exploration across the globe, offering you new ways of working, sharing therapeutic thinking from differing perspectives: allowing you to be challenged in new and exciting ways.

During this year’s event we will propose questions and will seek solutions throughour selection of speakers and from the panel discussion:

  • With differences in therapeutic practice, how can we learn from each other, developing our knowledge and skills?
  • What are the creative opportunities for marginalised groups of people worldwide, enabling all to access therapy?
  • How do we work alongside colleagues who prefer face to face working and take online therapy forward?

The speakers will include:

Melissa Anderson – Leveraging Technology to Address Deaf Mental Health Inequities

Saldin H. Kimangale – Violence Against Children, Digitalization and Mental Health in Tanzania: A Call for Action

Lesley Simpson-Gray – An Online Journey to The Globalized Self

We are absolutely delighted to introduce Sadia Azmat, a contemporary British Asian comedian who is pushing the limits with her clever wit, thought-stirring observations, and irresistible charisma. In the realm of comedy, Sadia Azmat is much more than just a performer, she is a comedic powerhouse reshaping convention. Get ready for a dose of levity and enlightenment!
