Care experienced

At our second Iriss Skills Session, Dr Emily Whyte shared the creative and multi-disciplinary approach to working alongside care experienced young people, developed through her doctoral research at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU).

I feel incredibly grateful to have worked with and co-written a play called Healing Pitch alongside four care-experienced young people as part of my PhD at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU). Healing Pitch weaves together the young people’s words, poems, and stories into a creative retelling of their experiences of care, their passion for football and mental health journey.
