Gain an understanding of the unique challenges that care-experienced children and young people face in forming their identities. Facilitated by Mary-anne Hodd.
Tickets cost: £50 for non-members
Mary-anne will examine the unique challenges and opportunities that care-experienced children and young people encounter while shaping and expressing their identities.
Approaching this exploration through a developmental and trauma-responsive framework, you’ll learn how early life experiences, systemic issues, and societal factors influence identity formation; all considered through a lived experience perspective.
By the end, you will have a deeper understanding of the intricate nature of identity formation and be equipped with tools to foster positive outcomes and empowering environments for young people in care and beyond.
There are just 30 places available for this Live Classroom so book early to secure your place!
