Beyond Psychology
We help to improve the mental health of children and families
Important Update: Beyond Psychology’s Closure March 2024
Beyond Psychology will be closing at the end of March 2024 after seven incredible years. This has been an immensely difficult decision. Moving on, letting go and change all come with great sadness and also with a sense of jubilation. We would like to extend our thanks to those who have supported our journey over the years and made Beyond Psychology the success that it has been.
It is now time for our team to move on, but continue to celebrate all that has been achieved in those seven years. Beyond Psychology will be leaving a legacy through our accessible training and consultation, which has helped many organisations embed trauma informed practice.
As a final offering we are opening up our Beyond Psychology Academy on a highly discounted basis, available until the end of March 2024 and we would like for it to be accessed and available as widely as possible.Â
This fabulous resource is already being widely used by over 5000 professionals across Greater Manchester to support ongoing trauma-informed practice across the locality.
We will be fulfilling all outstanding contracts, continuing to provide high-quality service until the close of the business on 28th March 2024. At this point, Beyond Psychology and this website will cease to exist, but we know that all the work we have done over the last seven years will continue to have a ripple effect for all those who have worked with and alongside us.
