Family Centre staff have been regularly contracted to conduct workshops on issues of applied social policy throughout the world. They particularly focus on issues of cultural, gender and socio-economic justice and address these contexts in therapeutic settings, community devlopment, social policy research and the educational work they carry out. "Just Therapy" seeks to look at the therapeutic environment in relation to these broader contexts.
