The Disabilities Workstream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Disabilities Workstream aims to provide support to current and aspiring trainees with disabilities. This includes individuals with any long-term mental health conditions (e.g. depression, anxiety), physical health conditions (e.g. chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis) and neurodiversities (e.g. autism, dyslexia, ADHD).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Disabilities Workstream currently runs a reflective space for Newcastle University DClinpsy trainees with disabilities; this is facilitated by a clinical psychologist who is not a member of the Newcastle University DClinPsy course team. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Disabilities Workstream also hope to have their mentoring scheme up and running for the next academic year; the aim of the mentoring scheme is to provide support to aspiring trainees applying to DClinPsy programmes throughout the full application and interview process. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the Disabilities Workstream aims to support and promote inclusivity of those with disabilities within the profession.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
