Support Daniel to become an Open Dialogue therapist

Hi! My name is Dániel Ács and I would like to ask for your kind help to achieve my personal goal to become an Open Dialogue therapist in order to help people who are experiencing a mental health crisis. I am currently participating in the Open Dialogue 3-year training programme in London, UK under the supervision of many practitioners, among others, Jorma Ahonen, Nick Putman, Kari Valtanen, Mia Kurtti and Jaakko Seikkula. Many of them are the original developers of this approach, coming from Finland.

The training costs 3590 GBP / year. As part of the training, we have to conduct 300 working hours with families and with a co-therapist. I am offering these sessions to the families for free. Therefore I would like to ask for the contribution of those who share my passion and hope for a better future for those in crisis without depriving them of their free will and the possibility to live without serious medications if not absolutely necessary.

I am currently learning this progressive approach, as the first Hungarian person. My goal is to introduce this promising way of helping to my practice and to my concentrative circles: family, friends, the Soteria Foundation where I've been volunteering, city, region and country for the benefit of those in pain.
