Stella Project networking events
The Stella Project holds informal information and networking
events on a quarterly basis which provide opportunities for
practitioners working in the fields of violence against women,
drugs and alcohol to come together to network, share and promote
good practice. Each meeting is themed to explore different
areas and issues, and practitioners and projects are invited to
give presentations at each event. Previous events have looked
at issues relating to couples counselling, increasing user
involvement and supporting Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Women
experiencing domestic violence and problematic substance use.
