Beyond the Bench: Women's Problem-Solving Court Symposium

Come join us for a day of insightful discussions and networking at the Women's Problem-Solving Court Symposium in Manchester. This event is hosted by academics at Leeds Beckett University Dr Alexandria Bradley, Dr Sarah Waite and Dr Anna Kawalek, who are working in collaboration with women accessing these courts and Greater Manchester Probation Service.

This event promises to be nurturing, casual, and warming, bringing together key people involved in the UK problem-solving courts. We will be sharing some research findings, as well as providing interactive sessions, and a sound bath. Don't miss out on this chance to be part of the continued conversation on women's problem-solving courts and for a true therapeutic experience!

Don't forget to bring a blanket for the sound bath!

We look forward to welcoming you to the event.
