Anne Bannister Scholars will be created bi-annually by the BPA, in honour of Anne, and given to individuals in acknowledgement of their research and / or publications that focus on creative, action-based, therapeutic work with children and young people who have suffered neglect, abuse or other forms of social or medical adversity.
The British Psychodrama Association is delighted to announce that the Anne Bannister Scholars’ Committee has decided this year, given the exciting spread of experience and nationalities of the nominees, to create three Anne Bannister Scholars. The Scholars will be formally presented with their certificates and a small bursary by Anne’s husband Stan Bannister, at the banquet of the BPA / IAGP international conference Empowering Practice on Sunday 31st August 2014.
