Regional Meeting November 2021: A New Members Experience
Lynda reports on her first experience at the Regional Meeting. “My excellent mentor, Marion, keeps me on my toes and suggested we went to the Regional Committee last Saturday, 13th November in Taunton. I wasn’t terribly enthusiastic about it needless to say but I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. We had two excellent talks before lunch, the first by two amazing and devoted young women, Gemma and Sophie from the Nelson Trust. This service was designed to respond to the needs of women accessing treatment who often had significant histories of trauma and abuse both in childhood and as adults.The second was by Natalie Giles from the Somerset Integrated Domestic Abuse Service who had some truly harrowing tales to tell but who has devoted her career to helping women and some men in the most amazing way. Both talks were fascinating.The agenda of the meeting
