Messy Social Work

In this episode, I am joined by Danny and Mike from Lads Like Us. We talk about:

 - trauma, ACEs, criminal behaviour, gangs
 - unmet need, unresolved trauma and the path of self destruction
 - The importance of making sense of who you are
 - professional curiosity
 - weaponising empathy
 - The power of 1
 - recovery, healing and discovering your potential

Mike and Danny are incredibly thoughtful, thought provoking speakers using their lived experience to bring about a trauma informed revolution. They are two of most inspiring men I have ever met. I couldn't speak highly enough of them, and I felt privileged getting the chance to speak with them. You can find them here, https://twitter.com/Lads_Like_Us and here, https://www.ladslikeus.co.uk.

Recently, they teamed up Artist Manchester Hypes, to produce this song, which is exceptional:

In this episode I am joined by social worker and colleague Andy Black, and we reflect on a great question by Rebecca Key,  'how do you walk the fine balance between curiosity, care and compassion for the experiences of a parent without this clouding your judgment or waiting too long to intervene and take action to secure the child permanence and safety in their time scales'.  We are very grateful to Rebecca for her question, and if anyone has any comments or feedback, please get in touch.

In this episode I explore whether, in child protection, to build therapeutic relationships. I argue that social work is inherently conflictual, which makes this difficult and explore how we can build meaningful and impactful relationships.
