A Caring Presence

General NewsLyra MorganComment

It is lovely to have an image of my large piece Presence included as part of Careful Thinking’s Newsletter.

In episode 20 of Martin Robb’s Careful Thinking podcast, Martin is joined by two distinguished care theorists, Andries Baart and Guus Timmerman, the co-authors of Relational Caring and Presence Theory in Healthcare and Social Work: A Care Ethical Perspective.

Having worked a lot in healthcare settings, I have seen the positive effects of creativity on wellbeing. If you too are interested in art and care, I recommend checking out more of Careful Thinking’s podcasts especially as recent posts have focused on the relationships between art and care.

The podcasts are inspired by a belief that thinking critically about care can both deepen our understanding and help to improve the everyday practice and experience of care.
