The Wellbeing Matters Podcast with TP

Kids EN ↓ 31 episodes

As a Travelling Therapeutic Practitioner working with 5-18 year olds, parents are always asking me what wellbeing services and provisions are out there for their children and for themselves. There are so many people doing amazing work to support children and their families so these episodes explore what people do and why they do it. Real people. Real stories. Lived experiences. The faces behind the amazing wellbeing services and provisions that exist. We are joining the dots and creating a network - a community of amazing people in Swindon & Wiltshire. So come and tell me your story.
