ALIGN Research Series Hosts Part Two with Dr. Kiaras Gharabaghi
EVENT DESCRIPTION
Continuing the conversation from 'The Very Best of Residential Care,' Dr. Kiara Gharabaghi presents 'The Move Away from Group Care: What's Won and What's Lost?'
During this session, continue the conversation around:
- The tensions between good practices that emanate from evidence and instrumental scientism.
- Compare good experiences for young people that emanate from the spontaneous engagement between caregivers and young people in everyday moments.
- Avoid replicating particular patterns of therapeutic interventions repeatedly.
- How valuing moments that fall outside of the expected patterns of interactions and shape these intentionally to create the memories that carry young people through life long after they have left the setting.
- Where our energies need to be placed for positive evidence indicators and how we measure the evidence.
