EAP Newsletter February 2025

Welcome to our first EAP Newsletter edition for 2025.
This is another short newsletter with EAP updates, particularly about the EAP Board and General meetings in March as well as the next EAP -UUA Symposium which happens at a crucial time for Ukraine and for Europe. Moreover, some of you will have noticed that the EAP website has changed. EAP Vice President Catalin Zaharia offered his skills and expertise to help us rejuvenate the website. The new EAP website went 'live' at the start of 2025 to the delight of EAP officers and staff. While this development entails a necessary visual change (we did not own the legal rights to the previous website design), the most important changes are actually 'under the hood', namely in the much enhanced capacity to manage website based services improvements, for example introducing interactive features for EAP website users in future. But please be patient, the new EAP website is 'work in progress' and not everything will be available or quite function as intended straight away. In the meantime, please contact the EAP staff if you get stuck or cannot find a form document you require.

We hope you enjoy this Newsletter.

EAP Newsletter February 2024

Welcome to this EAP Newsletter. Our March Annual General Meeting, Board and Committee meetings took place on 14 – 16 March 2024 at the Sigmund Freud University in Vienna. Here is a brief summary:

There have been no officer elections this year (elections take place every two years) and therefore no changes. Christina Winkler has been confirmed as the new ‘Chamber of Individual Members’ (CIM) Chair person following Nicole Aknin’s retirement last year. Alexander Reider, our Treasurer will step back next year and EAP are looking for somebody to step into this role. Some finance or business skills would be desirable as well as some familiarity with Austria since EAP is registered there. If you are interested, please contact Alexander for a conversation at alexander.rieder@europsyche.org.

Support for Ukraine and other crisis zones: The Board received and discussed reports about the UUAP – EAP symposiums and European Room for Listening (ERL) activities. Board members also received a report about the ‘Leszno declaration of support for mental health for all psychotherapists’ ( https://lesznodeclaration.pl/the-declaration/) You will find updates and further information about ERL and the UUP-EAP Symposia in this Newsletter.

The Board also heard and discussed a report about moving towards digital ECP Certificates. The technical details are still being explored before any decisions can be taken but the intention to move from paper to digital ECP Certificates itself seemed generally agreeable.

The next Board and Committee meetings on 17 – 19 October will online it was decided and the deadline for contributions to the next EAP Newsletter will be 6 September – in time for the October meetings.

For further details about the Vienna meetings, please contact newsletter@europsyche.org for a copy of the provisional Board and provisional AGM minutes.

With warm wishes
Tom Warnecke
EAP General Secretary
