Join the Northern Ireland Social Care Council (the Social Care Council) for the latest Lunchtime Seminar on Thursday, 7 November 2024.
This Lunchtime Seminar will introduce participants to a practice model of meaningful connection and the theory underpinning the approach. It will also include interventions that allow us to work more collaboratively with our client group such as de-escalating language, curiosity, affirmative statements and impartiality.
The Seminar will be presented by Jim McGrath, Director, Netcare.
Meaningful connection leads to better outcomes, more trust and a healthier work environment. It does not just include professional/family relationships, it also involves family members who have unresolved differences and which prevent or hinder possible positive outcomes for themselves or the wider family.
Restorative mediation is a process used throughout the UK by Social Workers and social care practitioners alike to help bring family members together safely to express their differences. In doing so they are afforded a meaningful conversation that will allow them to express their version of the truth, be heard and have their feelings recognised. It is a quick process that can be used in an emergency or as a planned intervention.
This seminar will be delivered using case study examples and participants will be given an opportunity to process the information in a breakout session and ask questions for clarification.
