Presented by Hubert Czupała, Maria Karekla, Melody Didisse, Sanna Turakka, Eugen Secara, Lidia Baran, Stefan Wagler, Silvia Nicolescu at the ACBS World Conference Nicosia, Cyprus 2023.
Since May 2021, two nominated leaders from each ACBS Chapter have expressed an interest in participating in the CBS national and language chapters' PROSOCIAL process. We completed the prosocial facilitator training and continued to meet online.
We know that the evolutionary success of ACBS is not only about increasing membership, the growing impact factor of the JCBS, or the number of groups worldwide promoting the ACBS. For this reason, we worked together using PROSOCIAL principles to communicate, cooperate, identify and solve problems to build a stronger community. We hoped we could support training and practice opportunities and spread evidencebased information, strategies, sovereignty and autonomy of decisions of CBS national and language chapters. We want to use this opportunity to discuss our different experiences utilizing this process on a personal, chapter and international level. To encourage others to share perspectives, raise discussion and take action towards inclusiveness and further promote the work of the ACBS.
