Two new podcasts and two new movies from The Care Guy

I’ve made two new podcasts and two new movie files for The Care Guy’s ‘Mental Health Support Workers’ Guide’.

The care that we give

Sally often talked about the responsibility we had to improve practice by teaching only the best current principles to students and other colleagues

Deliberate self-harm: tackling the myths

This poster explodes the myths that surround deliberate self-harm and the idea that it’s all ‘manipulation’ or ‘attention-seeking’.

Unashamedly stealing other peoples’ ideas

I plan to create relatively brief ‘quick guide’ summaries of mental health and social care principles that can either be used for quick online reference or posted in staff rooms and offices

Today’s multimedia offerings

What the new podcast is really all about

Not everyone has the time to sit around watching youtube videos and many people find it easier to listen to podcasts whilst commuting to work or doing other things

The Guide as a podcast

Still working to catch up with the existing PDFs and movie files on www.thecareguy.com by uploading episodes to my shiny new podcast. So far I’m up to episode 12. Check it out here and do, please let me have your feedback.

The Care Guy podcast

I’ve started a proper podcast. Initially I’ll be oosting audio versions of existing episodes of ‘The Guide’. Then once I’ve caught up I’ll keep the podcast in line with weekly The Guide episodes but add other stuff along the way too. You can hear (and subscribe to) my podcast here All feedback would be appreciated.
