The ‘Mony Elkaim’ Fund

The ‘Mony Elkaim’ Fund

This fund is an initiative of EAP, aimed to support EAP Member Psychotherapists and EAP Organisational Members, specifically working with migrants, refugees, and in areas of conflict and violence.

The finances raised for this fund came initially as a donation from Mony Elkaim, in lieu of a retirement gift. Money that is raised subsequently will come from funding initiatives decided by the Governing Board of EAP and other appropriate sources.

The fund will be managed by a small group (of 5 people) and will be known as the Fund Distribution Group (FDG) and this group will always include the current Treasurer of EAP. The FDG has a separate bank account from all other EAP accounts. The FDG comprises: EAP Treasurer; EAP General Secretary; EAP Registrar; and an EAP President/ Vice President and one other non Executive Member. The FDG will decide how the fund is distributed, and to whom grants are given, within the following guidelines:

1) Considering the limitations of the fund, one payment will be awarded annually. This could change in light of any increase in finances.

2) EAP member psychotherapists or organisations should apply for grants (English) in writing through the EAP Head Office. This application should: (i) give a brief description of the achievements, work positions, and activities of the applicants; (ii) give details of the proposed project and over what period the grant would apply; (iii) mention any other sources of funding and other amounts received; (iv) outline what the financial support would be used for; and (v) describe what accounting and/or monitoring procedures would be utilised.

3) Applications should reach the FDG at least 3 months before the EAP AGM.

4) The FDG will review the applications; and present its decisions about funding to the EAP AGM, which will then be asked to endorse the FDG’s ‘decision’. The FDG will also report to the AGM about the use of the previous year’s grant application.

5) Normally, applicants will not be eligible for grants two years in succession.

6) The successful application will be paid within 2 months of the EAP AGM.

Adopted by the EAP Governing Board on 24th February 2018

The European Room for Listening

The European Room for Listening (ERL)

The European Room for Listening (ERL) project aims to offer support and professional listening at a time of war and multiple existential crises. The ERL is hosted by an international group of EAP psychotherapists from different countries.

Background, Idea, and Purpose

There is a war going on in Ukraine. It affects Ukraine, but it also affects neighboring countries that have received many refugees, as well as everyone in Europe. Psychotherapists in Ukraine and in neighboring countries need the attention and ears of their European colleagues. They need to share what they experience in being psychotherapists during this time of war and to endure the situation in their everyday lives. They need to share their doubts, their anger, and their fears with European colleagues who are willing to listen, so that their stories can be shared and we can help each other through this terrible situation.
