One of the key Principles of the Hope and Healing Framework is that Care should occur within the context of family. The framework highlights that the residential care service system cannot interface with the young person in isolation from family and it is imperative that residential care staff work in partnership with family wherever possible. This episode explores why this is important and how it can be achieved.

You will be hearing from three young people Chantell, Mark and Bob, as well as two experienced residential care staff Tony and Chad. You will also be hearing again from Dion Tatow from QATSICPP and Lisa Hillan, who was part of the Expert Advisory Group for the Hope and Healing Framework.

We hope that their stories and ideas will bring to life this important element of Hope and Healing.
