Spring Magazine Publication Day

The CUrrent Edition:
iNTERNATIONAL tHERAPIST: Winter 2024/25

Winter can be brutal. It is a time when we struggle to keep the heat in, when we wake up before the sun has even risen, and when sparks of motivation can be few and far between.

It can take a lot of strength to get through the beginning of a new year, and so this is why the theme for this quarter is empowerment and resilience.

How will you harness the power of resilience?
