Values

  • Long-term Engagement

    We believe in committing to long-term engagement to anti-oppressive practice within the systems we live and work in.

  • Education

    We believe that a commitment to self education is a core pillar of anti-oppressive practice.

  • Therapy is Political

    We believe that the personal is political and therefore the political is integral in the therapeutic space.

  • Centring Marginalised Therapists

    We believe in co-creating, platforming and safeguarding spaces by and for marginalised therapists.

  • Honouring Labour

    We believe in respecting the intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical labour provided by and to members of the network.

  • Staying with Discomfort

    We believe in taking ownership of our behaviour and working through our own feelings, discomfort, defences and processes that come up within RTN and the work we engage in.

  • Transformative Justice & Community Accountability

    We believe that working within a transformative justice framework will reduce harm and support healing and liberatory therapeutic practices. We believe in role modelling accountability and will challenge, and call-in harmful or oppressive actions or practice with deep care.

  • Community Care

    We believe in radical self and collective care, healing and heart-led work.
