2019
Our conference in central London was on Saturday, 30 November 2019.
Our focus for the day was on recovery from the trauma of boarding school and how that recovery can be achieved and release us, in many different ways, within our lives.
The day included talks from specialist speakers in the morning. The afternoon included two short presentations before we broke-out and chose to take part in one of three facilitated sessions.
It was a very fulfilling day with understanding and support for all, no matter where they were in relation to their boarding school experience: from those dealing with raw trauma to those who have come a long way in their recovery.
