A little late but here it goes… Some months have passed since I shared time and space with brilliant individuals who are passionate about the work they get to do with children and youth at the annual Ontario Association of Child and Youth Care conference. During my presentation, I talked about the art and science of relationship building. As research suggests, providing evidence-based interventions to clients is a strong predictor of positive therapeutic outcomes. However, a positive prognosis cannot exist in the absence of a solid therapeutic relationship that is experienced as safe by a client. Through the intentional use of self, one then lays the groundwork for fertile soil that allows for growing and flourishing to occur. Likened to art, there are many ways one can go about the work. A work that requires authenticity. It requires presence. It requires creativity. It requires vulnerability. An opportunity to think outside the box and discover different ways of connecting with other humans. Truly, it is the best part of the work I get to do with youth and families.

(From GetGeorgiaReading.org). Two-thirds of Georgia’s third-graders are not reading on grade level, bringing long-term negative consequences to these children, their families, their communities, and our state. Unwilling to yield any longer to the unspeakable rate of illiteracy in Georgia, hundreds of public and private leaders from across the state and across sectors have come together to take on third-grade reading as an urgent priority for all who care about children’s health and well-being. Together, we developed a four-pillar framework outlining the conditions necessary for every child in Georgia to become a proficient reader by the end of third grade, paving the way to improved outcomes throughout school and life. https://lnkd.in/giKzv7s3

Pleased to share yet another brilliant literature review completed by Niki Kir, a placement student from Middlesex University, and one of our wellbeing practitioners Joe Treacy. The intention of this review is to supplement Catch22's recently rolled out intervention on Trust, which is being delivered to service users in our Commissioned Rehabilitative Services. We cover the different forms of trust as stipulated by psychological theory, how trust is relevant in the context of the Criminal Justice System, and what up-to-date research is suggesting about how best to provide interventions on trust.
