A care experienced perspective on the language we use in the care system, and how to make our words more caring and dignifying.
About this Event

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’.

If the course is already full, don't worry! we're a friendly bunch, and we'd love to work some magic to accommodate you. Just reach out to us: [email protected] and we'll do our best to find a spot for you or get you on our waiting list. Your enthusiam is much appreciated, and we're here to help make it happen!
