A new episode of ‘Care to chat’ is now available. This time around we have a special conversation which shows a very different area of social care – social support – and demonstrates how special relationships can be for those that access support at a crucial time and those that give it.
Host Dr Wendy Austin MBE is joined by Teresa Miles, Social Care Manager, Belfast Central Mission, and her staff member Support Worker, Rebecca Simpson, alongside mum of three, Molly Lappin, who has had support from both Teresa and Rebecca to find suitable housing for her and her family, and who as a result is considering a career in social care herself.
