Specific Goals of the YWCP:
The youth Section of WCP aims to support the Work of the World Council for Psychotherapy and promote the development of the movement of the young psychotherapists, providing conditions necessary for young professionals in the field of psychotherapy, and support the activities of the WCP, as a Non- Governmental Organization of the United Nations Organization.
Why the Youth Section is indispensable for the World Council For Psychotherapy?
Young professionals have their own special, topical subjects corresponding with their stage of professional and personal development and their own, different outlooks on various issues.
Joining professional community, being noticed and accepted by colleagues is often difficult for students and professionals who are at the very beginning of their working path. Our section provides young professionals with an opportunity to become a part of society and actively participate in the development of the profession.
We give young professionals the opportunity to be heard and realize their projects, to exchange professional experience as with each other, as with more experienced colleagues, find and unite with each other. To develop personally and contribute to psychotherapy’s development and , therefore, to the development of whole mankind!
