Ongoing projects
Psychotherapy Survey
Contact person – Asilay Şeker (asilayseker@gmail.com)
Psychotherapy is suggested as a 1st line treatment options for many childhood mental health disorders. However, it is not easy to say that all European countries have a fully equipping curriculum for up and coming CAP specialists in terms of Psychotherapy. Psychotherapy Survey is a project to explore the training and practice conditions of psychotherapy among European CAP trainees and ECPs. The aim is to draw attention to needs and contribute to improvement in this field for CAPs.
Psychopharmacology Survey

Contact person – Filipa Martins Silva (anafilipacmsilva@gmail.com)

Past projects
CAP in GAP Survey
Contact person – Anna Sofie Hansen (anna.sofie.kjaergaard.hansen@gmail.com)
It is a given that CAP trainees receive some theoretical and practical training in adult psychiatry, but the same is not true across all of Europe for CAP training for GAP trainees. The aim of this project is to map the current state of CAP training in GAP training programmes across Europe and to investigate if this matches the needs of GAP trainees. An online survey was constructed and disseminated. Data gathering is now terminated. Data analysis and paper writing are the next planned steps.
