Attendance at any conference does not signify support. It is an opportunity to advocate for psychotherapy and the interests of our members and the public.

UKCP will always robustly challenge any policies that would reduce support for people with mental health conditions. 3/3

Last weekend UKCP attended the @reformparty_uk Party Conference as part of our strategy to engage with all five major UK parties. We are concerned by proposals discussed around raising the threshold for mental health-related state support and reducing PIP. 1/3

[UKCP @UKCP_Updates]

Fringe discussions focused heavily on welfare, economic inactivity and employment. These conversations highlight the importance of making the case for psychotherapy as a cost-effective intervention that supports people's mental health and wellbeing. 2/3
