  CofC Annual Forum - May 2013

  Thank you to all who came to the annual forum this year which explored "The Therapeutic Community as Education."

  
  

  We were delighted to have Dr Eric Broekart delivering the keynote speech this year on The Therapeutic Community as an educational process in an evidence-based world.  The day also
  
  saw a lively debate that argued "Therapeutic Communities can never be truely democratic", and the introduction of a new feature for 60 second ideas to change the TC world.
  Some of the presentation slides and recordings of the key presentations and debate are available here.
  A summary of the feedback given on the day is available here.
