Community WhatsApp Group
The Feminist Therapy Network (FTN) Community WhatsApp Group is for therapeutic practitioners interested in exploring feminist perspectives in their practices and in building feminist community. It exists to support each other in:
​
-
sharing feminist resources, including articles, books, organisations and events
-
asking and responding to feminist questions and dilemmas (always anonymise any therapeutic questions)
-
promoting and sharing feminist events - locally, nationally and globally
-
feminist organizing, for example attending protests, petitions, letter-writing
-
building community and collective feminist solidarities together
The FTN is not currently a membership body. By joining the WhatsApp group, you are joining a community of feminist/feminist-curious therapists. Joining does not constitute FTN membership.
All FTN events will be announced first in this group, before being promoted publically. Please note that this group is not a space for sharing and obtaining client referrals.
By joining the FTN Community WhatsApp group you are agreeing to honour the FTN’s Ethos in your interactions with other group members. Please ensure you are familiar, and in alignment, with the ethics and intentions of the FTN before joining. This group practices participation and reciprocity – please do not join if you do not intend to offer presence and contribute in ways that are possible to you.
Members are encouraged to set up sub-groups if they wish to organise an event, such as attending a protest, book club, or social meet up. If you set up a sub-group, please take responsibility for closing it once it is no longer needed. This supports new folks joining the group.
Unkind and discriminatory behaviour will result in removal from the group. Please contact the group admin if you have any concerns about particular posts. Sharing personal details of other group members outside of the group is not allowed, unless you have obtained their consent to do so.
JOINING
Joining the group occurs a one-off fee of £10.00. This fee supports the work and offerings of the FTN.
To join, please email feministtherapynetwork@protonmail.com with a link to either your therapy website or online membership profile. If you’re a trainee, email confirmation on where you are training. This is simply to confirm your status as a therapist or therapist-in-training. Then, following receipt of your £10 payment via Paypal, you will be sent a link to join the group. When you join, we ask that you share a post with your name and location.
