Guide for Loved Ones: Ideas Callout

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

Tina, a student in the This Is Us Community (TIUC), came up with the idea of creating a short accessible guide that we could give our loved ones (best friends, boyfriend/girlfriend/partner, spouses, etc) to help explain to them what it is like being a care experienced or estranged student.

The idea is to take some of the load of us having to explain our background/experiences from scratch and to give our loved ones tools to make them better at supporting us.

We want to know, what do you think the guide should include?

Share your thoughts about this guide. What you would want your loved ones to know about your experience of being care experienced and/or estranged? *

Here are the advice topics we thought of - please tick those you think should go in the guide or add your own

Attachment styles

Definitions: What do the words 'care-experienced' and 'estranged' mean?

Money/financial worries

Special occasions/religious periods

Signposting and support for the loved one/an ally supporting care experienced & estranged people

Term breaks/holidays

Other:
