Top tips for direct Work and insights from Maya Angelou

Relational Activism in Social Work

In this episode, Rich kicks things off by admitting his secret fuel: a double-double coffee (that's double strength, double shot!)—the only thing that kept him going through late nights in child protection. He then dives into his approach to direct work with children, sharing insights that go beyond caffeine-fuelled energy. We’re also treated to a voice note from social worker and TEDx speaker, Ian Thomas, who blends personal experience, professional wisdom, academic insight, and a dash of spiritual clarity in a way only he can. And, in honour of Black History Month, Tim reflects on the timeless teachings of Maya Angelou, adding depth and heart to the discussion.
