These courses are aimed at psychologists, social workers, general practitioners, psychiatrists, guidance teachers, counsellors, psychotherapists and nurses. This training provides participants with new ways of understanding family dynamics and exploring alternative approaches to family situations. Family therapy is about overcoming stumbling blocks together, as a family.

For the past 10 years, the Family Therapy Service of Agenzija Appogg, in collaboration with the Tavistock clinic, UK, has been at the forefront in organising training courses in family therapy. These courses represent the agency’s commitment to continuous training of its staff and other professionals within and outside Agenzija Appogg.

For further information on the Family Therapy Service or on any other service within Agenzija Appogg, the public could access the website www.appogg.gov.mt or the website of the Ministry for Family and Social Solidarity, www.mfss.gov.mt.
