SCCR International Online Conference 2025

Can't, Not Won't

‘Can’t’ not ‘won’t’ - is there a choice? Or is there a barrier? For many young people, it’s not a case of ‘won’t’, but of ‘can’t’; life has limited their ability to make progress. SCCR's 2025 online conference ran across March, featuring eight events that examined what these barriers are, how they came to be – and what we can do to help them pass these obstacles. Below you will find video of each of the events.

Recovering from Violence

James Docherty, Project Manager at Scottish Violence Reduction Unit leads on assessment, formulation and interventions that contribute to all (SVRU) activity using a public health approach to reduce violence. During his talk, he gives professional insight and experience in what it takes to overcome adversity, relating his work in this field to the challenging family life he experiened as a child.

This event took place on Thursday, 13 March, 10am to 11am.
