Episode 11: S4E11 - Going on a bear hunt: learning about Think, Feel, Do Sensory Bears
This month we are talking about Think, Feel, Do Bears - how they were developed and how they can be used during life story work.
Amy Payne and Karen Vance, two of the practitioners who created Think, Feel, Do Bears, join us from Australia. They take us back to 2016, when the first Think, Feel, Do bears were made, inspired by conversations at the 2016 Australian Childhood Trauma Conference.
Find out how the bears can help children and young people talk about their thoughts, feelings and actions. Hear about some real-life examples of them being used by children, young people and adults, and learn how the bears can help children and young people's voices be heard.
