Our story...
Having personal experience of living in children's residential care and becoming a housemother in a local authority children's home I really do have the experience and understanding and can truly empathise with those who come into one of our two homes. I have worked in a variety of care settings including children's residential care, fostering and social work and I am a firm believer in the therapeutic approach to care and education and I have developed a simple working definition to help other care givers understand what this means in practice.
I organised the first Your Life Your Story Event to amplify the voices of care experienced adults and caregivers through story telling. Your Life Your Story offers a living learning experience that unleashes the power of relationships and the untold story.
