The hope inside the box: making meaning from bereavement, loss and change within social work education and practice
Friday 18 March 2022, 2pm to 3pm
Dr Denise Turner will share findings and reflections from work carried out within health, social work and social care since the first national lockdown in March 2020.
She will use practical illustrations to advocate for the importance of engaging with bereavement, loss and change within social work education and practice. The significance of memory and meaning making will be highlighted through specific examples of co-production and digital connection completed during the pandemic.
Whilst COVID-19 has been a form of collective trauma, the presentation aims to demonstrate the ways in which distinctive forms of connection can help to maintain hope, as well as offering some reflections on shaping social work education and practice moving forwards.
