Here is a review found on Amazon from Dr Christopher Moore:

What an achievement by Lisa Cherry. This book is a must-read for anyone who has a vested interest in the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people.

Lisa provides a brief introduction to the areas of attachment, adversity and trauma. These set the scene for the subsequent conversations in each of the three parts of the book. She also provides frequent reflections and points for discussions. I found that there was a real momentum to each chapter. They often left me with food for thought and I was eager to begin reading the next conversation.

One of the greatest strengths of this book is how it dips into various contexts and disciplines and yet the discussions remain accessible and relevant to a range of educators and professionals within health and social care. I have little experience of the criminal justice system, but I found Andi Brierley’s chapter very applicable to common issues such as preventative and multi-agency working. Similarly, the chapter with Pauline Scott and Laura Devennie will speak to those grappling with whole-school and whole-service thinking around staff wellbeing.

The conversational nature of this book is really unique, and this allows it to provide a really rich space for exploring and challenging a range of issues. It goes further than many books about similar topics, as it pulls back the curtain on the complex journey that these headteachers, social workers, therapists and managing directors (to name just some of the professional backgrounds) have experienced.

I appreciated the fact that the conversations did not shy away from the difficulties and setbacks which occurred on these journeys. Change is hard. Systems can be rigid. People can be hesitant to view the world and their own background with a different lens. It is truly refreshing to see these issues discussed openly and honestly. Lisa and her contributors really help to make these experiences tangible. There are also universal themes revealed across this spectrum of conversation which provide hope for the future. Compassion. Understanding. Empathy. Relationships. This book will undoubtedly help you to feel that you can make a difference.

Dee and Rosie join Lisa Cherry to talk about a new Digital Archive called Care Experience and Culture.

Twitter: @CareExp_Culture

Press Release: https://careleaversinfiction.wordpress.com/2021/02/11/care-experience-culture-2/

Dee Michell is Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Criminology & Gender Studies at the University of Adelaide. She was made a Ward of the South Australian State in 1960 and remained in foster care for 15 years. She worked as an administrator for a multi-national corporation before going to university in her 40s, when she combined study with primary care for her three children. Dee is the first in her families (family of origin and foster family) to go to university.

Rosie Canning is a PhD Candidate Uni of Southampton. The focus of her research is the representations of orphans and care leavers in fiction. She is examining the research through the lens of both creative and critical practice.

Rosie recently worked as a Research Assistant for Aoife O’Higgins in the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford. They worked on Conversations for care a knowledge exchange project and Care in the time of Covid a project that explored the day to day lives of care experienced adults in the UK during COVID-19. We wanted to know how the care community is coping and what helps them. We also wanted to record their experiences in history.

A Portrait of Care was a collaboration between Dr Aoife O’Higgins, Rosie and The University of Southampton Widening Participation department. It was an online exhibition that ran during National Care leavers Week (NCLW) via Instagram using self-portraiture as a way to combat the negative stereotypes people have about children in care.

Dee and Rosie met online in 2018.

In this unique book, international trainer and consultant Lisa Cherry invites professionals from education, social work and healthcare to engage in conversations on a range of pertinent topics and issues affecting children and young people today.

Divided into three main parts, which introduce attachment, adversity and trauma, each discussion places an emphasis on emotion and the understanding that we have as humans for compassion, empathy and connection. By encouraging collaboration between sectors and exploring a range of intersecting themes, the conversations take the reader on a winding journey to broaden their depth of thinking, reflect on their practice, and to consider the central message: that we can bring about social change, one interaction at a time.

This book is a call to action and an opportunity to look around and decide what kind of service we want to provide, what kind of community we want to live in, and what sort of legacy we want to leave. At a time of ever-present social and political challenges, this book will stimulate conversations on current practice and professional development for the future and is a must-read for everyone working with children and young people.

After the year we've had, how could we celebrate all the work of those on the frontline and those who support them? A Christmas HUG seemed the best way forward and what emerged was a hour of poetry, music and pure love.

Sit back, soak it all up and remember that we will always be better together.
