Quetzal was the brainchild of Jennifer Anthony Black, beginning in 1989 as a self-help group and then developing into a more formal range of professional support services. Quetzal is a registered charity (no. 1141890), managed by a Board of Trustees. As a charity, donations are always welcome; we are dependent on finding significant additional funding throughout the year from other sources. The charity is an organisational member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and, as such, complies with the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice.
