Front-line Work in Turbulent Times: Therapeutic Care During Coronavirus and Beyond

The Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies has been teaching and learning alongside front-line staff in social care, children homes, education and mental health for over 10 years. With this extensive experience Dr Chris Nicholson, and his colleague Chris Tanner, will lead a discussion to examine why so-called ‘care workers’ haven’t been given higher status and better training, conditions and pay. We will also explore how the future of care may change.

This online seminar will provide a space for front line workers to meet with practitioners from the department, and talk together about their recent experiences and challenges, and about the new opportunities arising for the status and conditions of the caring professions.

We will be holding this open seminar on Zoom and once registered you will receive an email with the Zoom webinar link and instructions on how to join.
