Therapeutic Care Beyond the Therapy Room: Everyday Moments That Heal with Ruth Emond 

In our upcoming not to be missed Professional Talk, University of Stirling’s Ruth Emond shares how everyday moments, from making a cup of tea to bedtime conversations, can be just as powerful as formal therapy. Drawing on her co-authored book A Guide to Therapeutic Childcare, Ruth explores the balance between theory and relationships, and why joy, play, and being alongside children can matter more than structured interventions.

Who is this talk for?

This not to missed talk is for anyone with an interest in children’s wellbeing and development and supporting recovery from trauma. It will be most compelling for professionals working in residential child care and foster care and those involved in social work, education, therapy and counselling.

Date/Time; Wed 27th Aug 2025, 19:00 BST - Online
