This workshop is part of Sussex Social Change Hub 2025 CPD program. In this workshop, we will draw on the presenter’s research to explore the impact that uncontained anxiety can have on social work supervision, how this can impede a focus on children and families wellbeing, and how this anxiety might be contained.
Detailed Description
Children and teenagers do not need to be experiencing a mental health crisis. In this workshop we will explore where our societal ideas about mental health have come from, and examine contemporary cultural influences shaping children and teenagers’ experiences.
Informed by Rachel Burr’s extensive study, this workshop presents a case for practitioners to work in group settings, both to support those already presenting with mental health issues and to offer preventative care to those who might otherwise do so.
By the end of the session, it will be possible for members of the workshop to independently replicate and apply the approaches to their practice. The workshop will draw upon case examples from the study to illuminate the transformative nature of the group work process.
