This event is being hosted online via MS Teams

Join us for our annual gathering where we come together to explore, deepen our understanding and introduce themes to cultivate meaningful restorative work in forensic mental health settings. This year we are exploring the impact of race and power in restorative work and, through our continued collaborative approach, champion access to restorative processes for victims of mental health offences. Thus, the focus of the 5th Annual Meeting of the Restorative Network in Forensic Mental Health is ‘Exploring social justice restoratively in Forensic Mental Health'.

We have an extremely exciting list of confirmed speakers that are sure to stimulate debate and discussion in our effort to provide insight into how we might build stronger and more just societies together.
