Description
Welcome to The Action Factory Podcast. I’m Michael Dawson, drawing on my experience growing up in the care system, working across NHS, local authority, and mental health settings, and developing what became The Solutions Toolkit at The Action Factory.
In this podcast, I share insights from my own journey on both sides of the care system.
Together, we explore what really works when communicating with young people in your care. Skills from Solution Focused Brief Therapy, NLP and clinical hypnosis.
