EE Annual forum

We are happy to invite you to our Annual Forum which will take place on 27 September 2023. This year's theme is 'Enabling Environments: a tool for managing challenge and change'. We wish to offer a platform to share observations and thoughts about relational practice, and its effects on outcomes like resiliency, wellbeing, and progression.

If you are interested in presenting, please submit an abstract by emailing eeadmin@rcpsych.ac.uk. Speakers will receive two tickets per organisation for free.

An art competition will also be taking place at the event; the winning submission will become the cover art for our reports until the next annual forum. Please email your submissions to eeadmin@rcpsych.ac.uk.

Tickets cost £70 for members of the EE network, and £100 for external parties. Your attendance will be confirmed once payment is received.
