NIDOTHERAPY TRAINING

There are many  opportunities for training in nidotherapy.. At present early 1n 2024 we are keen to recruit potential therapists and volunteers for our Nottinghamshire Environmental Village Project (see research section for project details).

At this point we are asking those who might be interested to get in touch with Peter Tyrer at p.tyrer@imperial.ac.uk in response to the invitation below:

 

The Nottinghamshire Environmental Village Project is a research project supported by Imperial College, London, Nottingham Trent University and the registered charity, NIDUS-UK.  Its aim is to offer systematic and collaborative changes in the environment (in all its forms) to improve mental health and life satisfaction, to the adult population of six villages in Nottinghamshire.  This is the first time a treatment of this nature has been given to whole communities and so gives the extra opportunity of joint as well as individual efforts to achieve change.

We are now advertising for possible researchers to take part in this project which aims to start work in June, 2024.  Up to 16 assessors are required initially to be involved in the assessment of the residents in 12 households on four occasions over one year.  It is expected that on each occasion the assessments will take a total of ten hours.  Each assessor is expected to see the residents on all four occasions. A fee of £12,000 will be paid (£300 on each occasion) and all necessary expenses will be reimbursed. 

 

Those wishing to apply for these posts should send a copy of their curriculum vitae and a statement supporting their application to p.tyrer@imperial.ac.uk together with the names of two referees (who would only be approached once applicants are short-listed).  Interviews will be held in May and June.

.For those who are interested in knowing more about nidotherapy in practice the Nidotherapy Workshops section of the website is the place to visit. 2023 will host a range of differing options from short introductory sessions to more advanced workshops to enable practitioners to develop their skills and understanding of Nidotherapy.
