Comment: | Boarding School Survivors was founded in 1990 and has two principal activities:
Firstly, in order to raise public consciousness, they research, lecture, write, and broadcast about the psychological effects of sending children away to school, and the social system which has encouraged this process.
Secondly, they run a programme of therapeutic workshops for adults who have recognised that they may have paid a price for their education, and are looking for ways to understand and heal their wounds. These courses, which have been running for over ten years, receive referrals from GPs, community organisations and counsellors, and have benefited many people, by allowing them to leave aspects of their past behind, and to develop their true potential.
The founder, Nick Duffell, is an accredited psychotherapist registered with UKCP, a supervisor, freelance trainer and a Sexual Grounding Therapist. Boarding School Survivors is an organisational member of the British Association for Counselling. |
