The Rights and Wellbeing RAW summit heralds the launch of an exciting project aimed at providing resources, group workshops and individual support to equip individuals with rights education to reduce the harm of police encounters.
RAW will also address the broader impacts of stop and search, providing therapeutic support to help people process and deal with the impacts of stop and search and the after-effects.
The Reader and National Prison Radio come together to host a Shared Reading session for RAW, where people come together to read aloud a poem or a story, and to discuss and share together what the reading makes us think and feel
This session will explore how using a group-centred approach rooted in experience and creativity can encourage and promote healing in ourselves and our collective communities
Counselling and therapy experts explain the various ways in which individuals can seek help for the psychological trauma of stop and search
Riah Writes will lead a workshop looking at the links between mental health and poetry to understand creative expression and improve our mental wellbeing
Marlene-Antoinette Daley helps participants identify the impact that stop and search has on their wellbeing
This session touches on the securitisation of health spaces and the intergenerational breakdown of communities caused by oppression-based trauma and police violence
