#TADF is non-membership community as well a more formal membership community (TADF). Anyone can use #TADF as a collective symbol for educational proficiency change based on “The Wholeness Solution” as introduced in the book “A New Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy [Routledge books]“. That is fundamental matters of personal and lived context, such as culture, neurodiversity, identity, beliefs, and embodiment, need to be embedded throughout the foundations of knowledge and practice, rather than treated as add-ons or adaptations. This spans all areas of mainstream knowledge, including self-development, theory, relationships, practice, and skills. We believe the ground of therapy and thus its ecology (training, supervision, research, services, standards) can be made stronger and more complete in serving all clients. By design not add-on or adaptation. It enriches and does not take away from existing approaches and foundations.

For professionals, advocates, communities, and organisation who are proactively involved in this type of change work (typically curriculum change or education in initial trainings) please consider formally joining ‘The TADF peer network’. This network supports Lecturers, Trainers, Consultants, Organisations and Advocates in mental health professions who are involved in transformation work for foundational change – within service provision, organisations system and / or training curriculum.

Joining the network enables us to collectively have a stronger voice for change and also support each other in change activities. Please email request to join to admin@tadf.co.uk, your current role (currently must be registered to an ethical registration body), and the change activity your involved in.

If you are already doing the work (e.g. training, consultancy for an embedded curriculum ) please let us know so we can showcase examples to a wide audience and thus influence professional change.

Current TADF communities include Free2bMe (Neurodiversity), SPOKZ People (Disability) and EVR (East and South East Asian communities). In addition, TADF includes course tutors and individual members from LGBTQIA+, ethnically diverse, and working-class communities.
