The suite of multidisciplinary Systemic Practice and Family Therapy programmes are suitable for professionally qualified staff who wish to enhance their skills of working effectively with individuals, families, couples, other systems and relationship networks. There are three levels of systemic practice and family therapy training: PG Certificate (AFT accredited Foundation - Year 1), PG Diploma (AFT accredited Intermediate- Year 2) and MSc Systemic Psychotherapy (AFT accredited Qualifying level training - Years 3 and 4). This one-year Postgraduate Certificate is the entrance programme to all levels of systemic training and must be undertaken before applying for other programmes. The Postgraduate Certificate seeks to help practitioners in different settings and roles understand the core concepts of contemporary systemic practice and utilise systemic skills and techniques to maximise the therapeutic benefit for individual service users or relationships groups in their everyday work. Systemic practice and family therapy helps people in close relationships to better understand and support each other. It enables individuals and family members to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, understand each other's experiences and views, appreciate each other's needs, build on family strengths, and work together to make useful changes in their relationships and their lives. Systemic family therapy has been found to be effective across the life course in helping children, young people, adults, couples and families struggling with a broad range of difficulties and circumstances. Systemic practitioners, and family and systemic psychotherapists work in many health and social care contexts across child and adult settings, including child and family support services, looked after children's services, older people's services, physical health and disability, substance use, justice and mental health services. Please note that this course is not eligible for a Tier 4 visa. Closing date for applications: Friday 29 July 2022 at 4pm. The Postgraduate Certificate in Systemic Practice and Family Therapy provides knowledge and skills which are highly valued in both child and adult services across health, justice and social care.
