Churchill Fellowship Report Part 3: Walking with Families - Therapeutic Respite & Intervention

Hello and welcome to this third episode of Al's Churchill Fellowship. You can read the full report here. In this podcast I reflect on conversations with carers and practitioners that support parents and children in the context of respite arrangements.  It is a model of practice rarely seen in the UK and not available from statutory support services. The model of intervention explored from two settings in North America raised questions about perceptions of family and how intervening to rebuild and reform families can be an affective solution for some. ‘I came to the conclusion, if parents aren’t ok then kids can’t be ok.’                                                           Tanya Eichler, Interwoven Connections Clinical Lead in the AFFCA Family Support Programme.
