Episode 50: Is Allied Health Too Nice?

In this episode, Caitlin is joined by Gabs and Em to ask a question that doesn't get asked enough: is allied health too nice? Not too kind - too nice. Because there's a difference, and it might be quietly getting in the way of the work we're actually here to do.From softened reports and avoided conversations, to recommending what families want rather than what they need, this episode gets honest about the habits and pressures that push clinicians toward comfort over honesty - and what it's costing the kids and families on our caseloads.Be sure to follow us on instagram @pip.cast This podcast is brought to you by Kid Link Occupational Therapy. We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live here in Mitcham, Victoria. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and recognize their ongoing connection to the land, waterways, and culture. As we support children and families, we are inspired by the wisdom and care that First Nations peoples have shown for generations.Music by Daniel Pavey Produced by Michael Daniels
