08.01.2022 UsherKids Australia presents a series of online workshops, Effective Communication in Health Care. Deeply moving, inspiring, hopeful and practical, Rachel Calla...nder delivers workshops that are revolutionising how people communicate with each other. 3:00-4:30pm (AEST) April 21st, 2021 Workshop 1. LANGUAGE: FIRST DO NO HARM Our language shapes our landscape. The words we speak influence the behaviour, attitudes, and beliefs of ourselves and others. They can alienate and add trauma, or they can honour and empower. I always think of those words and phrases as the scars they’ve left behind. Rhee- Mother of a child with Cerebral Palsy 3:00-4:30pm (AEST) April 22nd, 2021 Workshop 2. STORY: CHARACTERS IN CONFLICT The role you play in your own life story should be chosen deliberately and wisely. Too many of us are playing smaller, weaker parts those of victims, or villains, or heroes without compassion. It affects how we relate to others, and it hampers our progress. 3:00-4:30pm (AEST) April 23rd, 2021 Workshop 3. IDENTITY: WHO YOU ARE MATTERS Our society has narrowed the scope of the word normal so significantly, that our dictionaries are left with the bland descriptive of approximately average and this average-ness has become the most common stick against which we measure ourselves and others. Best practice in healthcare requires an urgent self-review on our unconscious biases, and the labels we use for difference, diversity, and disability. We invite all health care professionals, especially those caring for children with Usher syndrome in Australia to take part in this three-part workshop series to assist in their communication with families. Parents and carers are also encouraged to join us and share your insights into this important topic. Registration is just $90 for professional attendance to all three workshops and free for our parents and carers of children with Ushers Syndrome.
