This Week
|
Our newsletter comes to you a bit early this week, with a special edition for International Women's Day.
|
The 8th March every year is International Women's Day. This year's theme is 'inspire inclusion', so it felt very fitting. Inclusivity is one of our core values as an organisation and is part of what drives the work that we do to make psychological therapies accessible to all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whatever you make of these interesting gender disparities in our field, we felt it was only right to devote a little time to women this week. So read on for some cultural recommendations, women's health in the news, International Women's Day events for your wellbeing, and a letter from our very own female leader, Kerry Evans.

Join these two licensed psychotherapists every Wednesday as they explore all things related to women's mental health in a relaxed and informal discussion. Not sure where to start? We particularly loved the episode 'Thriving on the Spectrum', where they explore the autism spectrum and how it impacts women and mothers.

A Few Words: From our CEO, Kerry Evans
|
|
|
Being a female leader
When I was growing up “boss” was synonymous with “man”, and though I left education with a healthy amount of self-belief, I found myself employed and managed by men in male-dominated workplaces for the majority of the following 3 decades. They were often men with vision and passion, and I enjoyed supporting them, but I grew frustrated by the lack of collaboration, power-sharing and diversity. It took me a long time to realise that I had a responsibility to step out of my comfort zone if I wanted to help change the culture I was part of.
|
|
|
|
One of the reasons that I became CEO of BTC/HTC is because I am committed to making quality psychological therapies available to all. Another reason is that I believe it is important for organisations to have leaders who reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. This means inclusion of different ethnicities, sexualities, genders, neurodiversities, disabilities and other under-represented identities. Today, on International Women’s Day, at a time when 62% of our organisation’s clients identify as women, I am proud to be a female leader.
