Dear Dr. Sauma;

On behalf of the Awards Committee, we are pleased to inform you that the Executive Committee of the Association for Child Psychoanalysis (ACP) has selected Brent Centre for Young People, to receive the ACP 2018 Award for Excellence. This award is given to a center or program exemplifying the highest level of service, training, outreach or research associated with the profession of Child Psychoanalysis and the ACP. It is a real pleasure to see how use of psychoanalytic principles has been the foundation of the excellent therapeutic experience that you provide at the Brent Centre for Young People in London.  

We congratulate you and your colleagues on this honor. Your program joins a string of remarkably distinguished recipients:
