The AEDP Education Committee role is to ensure that every training offered by AEDP Institute meets the Institute’s rigorous standards and fosters a culture of continuous learning, diversity and inclusivity which enables mental health professionals to meet the evolving needs of their clients. Furthermore, the committee reviews applications from AEDP Supervisors who wish to teach the Essential Skills curriculum and achieve the title of Adjunct Faculty, along with applications from Adjunct Faculty aspiring to become Faculty, and from Faculty aiming to advance to Senior Faculty. Reporting to the Institute Steering Committee, their aim is to align their activities with the broader objectives of the AEDP Institute, fostering a community committed to transformative learning and development.
