BACP is committed to developing the evidence base for psychological therapies, especially counselling and psychotherapy. We are wholly in support of the Mental Health Foundation campaign to promote the importance of mental health research in the UK. In a world where counselling and psychotherapy are increasingly gaining prominence, evidence is urgently needed to inform practice and to ensure the highest possible standards of provision.
I have seen first hand the affects of poor mental health on suffers and those who are important to them. We need more funding in research and services to help everyone. We need to teach the public that mental health is not a taboo, that good mental health benefits everyone.
