We were joined by Dr Kathryn Rowsell to discuss her research and practice in restorative practice and nature based approaches to wellbeing in forensic mental health settings.Somewhat ironically, we recorded this episode during stormy weather and dealt with some connection disruptions, but thanks to Kathryn's perseverance we managed to regroup to finish the episode.Kathryn has been a restorative practitioner for almost 25 years. Prior to training as a forensic psychologist she worked with young people at risk of offending, those who have offended, and with victims of crime. She has also specialised in supporting young people who were victims of sexual harm as an accredited ISVA. Kathryn is currently completing her training to become an ecotherapist.
