About this event

  • 3 hours

Having spent a childhood growing up in Care, Mary-anne reflects on her journey and the impact that ‘Care’ language had on understanding herself and the world around her. Attendees will be thrown into experiencing language through the child’s eyes, before considering how we can all make a difference when we’re aware of the words we use throughout our practice.

A deep insight into language through the child’s eyes; the world of language that surrounds young people in Care, including stereotypes and stigma children and young people may face. A practical understanding of the ‘Care’ vernacular and what specific words mean from various perspectives, leading to an awareness of our own terminology and how to adapt this for therapeutic practice.

A wealth of tips and tricks to curate environments that support healing, avoid discrimination and are aware of biases. How we can reflect this not only throughout our own practice but throughout the narrative and societal understanding of what it means to be a ‘kid in care’.
