Sharing my reflections as I care for my mum who's living with the impact of memory loss and cognitive changes. I stepped out of social work late 2018. We're both in unknown territory. Ageing, Death and Dying, Loss and Grief and Trauma are my great interests. I'm outraged that the ways "we" respond: "our" survival strategies - are often pathologised, labelled and medicalised as "mental illness." This impoverishes human responses to overwhelming emotional distress: ignoring systemic injustices.

Art Skills for Therapy - Daphne Middleton
A few months ago I was fortunate to attend a day and a half workshop with Daphne, provided by Pathways Southwest in Bunbury.
It was a remarkable experience, combining two of my passions: art and narrative therapy.
Here's the link to Daphne's page:
