Ups and Downs
A book for kids about big feelings By Karen Young, Norvile Dovidonyte All feelings are important - the magical, the messy, and the inbetween. Sometimes though, big feelings can have us behaving in ways that aren’t so, let’s say… shiny. This happens to all of us. The more young people understand how and why, the more they can build the capacity to feel their feelings and manage them in positive ways. Ups and Downs draws on Polyvagal Theory, a widely accepted neuroscientific theory, to support young people to understand why they feel and do as they do, and how to do differently when they need to. Driving brains and bodies isn’t easy! It takes time, experience, and the right information, so let’s give them that.

Over years of developing and teaching their renowned Mindful Self-Compassion program, Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer have found MSC to be uniquely helpful for people struggling with the soul-draining depletion of burnout–from health care professionals, teachers, and caregivers, to tapped-out business owners and employees.
Mindfulness is exceptionally easy to get started with, and people often experience benefits almost immediately. Why, then, do many initial enthusiasts end up dropping the practice after a short while? According to Oxford professor and leading mindfulness expert Willem Kuyken, it’s because traditional mindfulness training is too far removed from how we actually live.

WORKING WITH DEMENTIA
Hearing the Person with Dementia
Person-Centred Approaches to Communication for Families and Caregivers
Losing the ability to communicate can be a frustrating and difficult experience for people with dementia, their families, and carers. As the disease progresses, the person with dementia may find it increasingly difficult to express themselves clearly and to understand what others say. Written with both family and professional carers in mind, this book clearly explains what happens to communication as dementia progresses, how this may affect an individual’s memory, language, and senses, and how carers might need to adapt their approach as a result. Advocating a person-centred approach to dementia care, the author describes methods of verbal and non-verbal communication, techniques for communicating with people who cannot speak or move easily, and strategies for communicating more effectively in specific day-to-day situations, including at mealtimes, whilst helping the person with dementia to bathe or dress, and whilst out and about. Exercises at the end of each chapter encourage the carer to reflect on their learning and apply it to their own circumstances, and guidelines for creating a life story with the person with dementia as a means of promoting good communication are also included.

Rethinking Dementia ripples and responses
By Bernie McCarthy
Paperback 112 pages AUD$: 35.99
By Michael Chapman, Mirranda Burton Written by a palliative care physician, this book challenges conventional understandings of dementia by reframing it as a condition that affects entire networks of individuals, not just those diagnosed. It urges us to consider dementia as a process of change within a social and relational system. Dementia challenges deeply held values of autonomy, individualism, independence, consistency, and ideas of personhood. Rather than focusing solely on a cure, this book investigates how networks of people can understand and learn from the changes that dementia brings. The book provides important historical, social, medical, and philosophical context to the medicalized view of dementia that prevails today, illustrating that dementia has had and can have many meanings, offering opportunities to rethink deeply held assumptions. Written for a wide audience, this book serves as an invaluable resource for families, caregivers, and individuals living with dementia, offering a new perspective on care and connection.

Rewriting Social Care By Bryony Shannon The way we communicate with people matters, and the way we communicate about people, and about the purpose and practice of social care and social work matters too. The words we use reflect our values and feelings which influences the way we think and behave. This is a book about language, and how the words we hear, read and choose to use both expose and perpetuate attitudes and behaviours. It's about the words that are too dominant in our narrative and practice, and the words that should dominate. It's also a book about change.
They offer effective ways to bring cultural competence into your work and support people from every community.
Changing how we communicate about people. Changing how we understand and articulate the purpose of social care. Changing how we practice. And ultimately changing the story of social care. And mainly it's a book about being human. About recognising each other as equal, valued human beings, and about creating a more human, humane future for us all.
