BAPT VIRTUAL Conference 2021 – 24th & 25th September

Exploring racial diversity and developing cultural competence in therapeutic practice.

2 days of Keynote presentations, workshops and discussion.

Welcome to our second virtual conference!  Last year’s conference was a great success, enabling us to engage a wider audience, both nationally and internationally. We obviously love our face-to-face conferences; they are a great way for us to all to spend time getting to know one another and learning together. We had hoped to be in a position to create a unique conference this year, blending together face to face experiences as well as virtual elements. Unfortunately, the pandemic has made this impossible but we live in hope that it will be something that we can achieve in 2022.
