Some important points about RCI:

1. It's registration and not licensing. It means very little in terms of actual practitioners
2. People with BA in some disciplines can register under RCI, MA/MSc in Clinical Psychology can't, they need MPhil and MA/MSc in Counselling can't ever

New mental health regulations just came out by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). This is the only government backed Council for mental health regulations in India.

Here’s why you should care and speak up even if you’re not a psychologist 🧵

@flirtingshadows @paraschopra Hi. Happy to help in any way possible

[The Alternative Story @TheAltStory]

As a mental health organization, we are aware of this legacy but also know that the same can be used to heal. So when you come into therapy, do you come to be productive or to heal?

[The Alternative Story @TheAltStory]

May 1st is celebrated as Labour Day. Psychology and tools created by psychologists are often used as ways to make people more productive i.e. fit into the capitalist agenda of making the rich richer.
