Psychology Today promoting new evidence into HG's effectiveness
The evidence for HG therapy, as demonstrated by Project-100, which fits NICE's stringent new requirements for real-world evidence, is being actively promoted by Psychology Today on its website as a must-read topic under Therapy and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In her article, How we know that human givens therapy works, Denise Winn looks at the problems around gathering evidence into the effectiveness of therapy, the impressive findings from PTSD Resolution's research project, and more – read article >
Depression? There is hope
New free online course for GPs
Despite being an extremely common presentation, or factor, in primary care consultations, depression receives disproportionately little attention in doctors' pre- and post-graduate training. To help plug this gap and give doctors the information and skills they need, the Human Givens Foundation has worked with Dr Andrew Morrice and other GPs trained in the HG approach to develop a new free online course aimed specifically at working with depression in a GP practice.
The course introduces doctors to the human givens model, and gives them an up-to-date model of depression which covers all aspects of the condition, and a practical toolkit, put together by HG-trained GPs, which they can draw on in patient consultations.
Please tell any doctors or medics you know about this course – it could help thousands of people, including the doctors themselves. Find out more >

New CPD courses
HG College has added new dates to its website for 2024 – including Part 2 and Part 3 Diploma dates, and attended courses in London, Bristol and Leeds – with some special offers on upcoming workshops too!
The College has developed several new courses, including Dealing with Conflict, which is recommended by Educational Director Gareth Hughes to all therapists as an important part of their ongoing career development – so much so, that from summer 2024 the course will become part of the HG Diploma. Because of its subject matter, the workshop has wide applications outside therapy too...

Are you ok? Don’t miss signs of depression
