Thank you so much, we've managed to establish a network of professionals now, who'll hopefully help us get our life somewhat managable
Ah yes, often it requires some work with your mental health when having something in your own luggage in such type of work. They want the best for the children they work with, but might not be able to cope before they've worked through whatever they need to.
Of course I don't know how it is for you, but that's something I'm seeing a lot in my area of work.
Agreed. I've worked a lot with children myself, in different forms (kindergarten, primary school, leisure club, babysitting etc), when my mental health was better.
And at uni, we talked alot about how important it is to be stable in yourself when working with children and families who's currently in a very unstable life situation themselves.
I even wrote my bachelor's about that topic; on the importance of supporting yourself -and your colleagues, and how we need to make sure we ourselves as caregivers are healthy and stable, before we have the ability to be a efficient caregiver for others.
Indeed, your capacity to do your work properly and the quality of said work will be very much affected by you.
