Understanding the Complex Thinking Required by Child and Youth Care Practitioners Who Function in the Life Space of Young People and Families
Thursday, September 15th ~ 10 - 11:30 am CDT
CYC life space practice can seem simple and unsophisticated to untrained people and professional colleagues who are not CYC informed. Daily events like eating and play, getting out of and into bed, caring about the future, and being considerate of others are serious challenges for people who have experienced abuse and neglect. The life logic used to navigate daily living may be very different for the worker and the young people and families we serve. This session will explore the complexity of utilizing life space moments to support people to be more successful in their lives.
