Conference on Diverting Women from Custodial Sentences

Together She Rises – Empowering Women, Transforming Lives 🌿
Today, I had the privilege of attending the Together She Rises Women’s Conference, organised by The Esther Project, a vital initiative supporting women facing mental health challenges, domestic abuse, addiction recovery, homelessness, and transitions from prison.
The event was an inspiring testament to resilience, empowerment, and the urgent need for trauma-informed, gender-specific services across Warwickshire.
Powerful guest speakers shared their lived experiences, key success factors, and best practices.
A thought-provoking panel discussion explored the deep connection between trauma and complex behaviours.
The overwhelming evidence reinforced the importance of safe spaces, tailored support, and a community-driven approach.
Based in Royal Leamington Spa, The Esther Project is changing lives through a supportive home environment, counselling, employability opportunities, and creative activities. Their work is a lifeline for many women in Warwick, Kenilworth, and South Warwickshire.
Events like these are crucial in shaping Warwickshire’s services to better support, uplift, and empower the women who need it most. Grateful to have been part of such an impactful day!
