In this episode I speak with Felicity, who in addition to social work, has trained in art therapy and education, psychotherapy and corrective services. She worked in the prison system for 18 years supporting inmates and running groups and workshops. She now works as a teacher of Community Services, Ageing & Disability & Community Arts & Cultural Development at TAFE, supporting a combination of high school students and adults, providing training for those wanting to work in community settings, or looking for a pathway to university studies.
