Therapeutic Leadership at Stepping Stones Care We’re excited to share highlights from our recent workshop on Therapeutic Leadership! 🎓 Director of Operations, Steve Travis, Clinical Lead Sarah Stringfellow, and Counselling Therapist Liam Barrett-Hawkins led an inspiring discussion on what Therapeutic Leadership means to each of us at Stepping Stones Care. This concept is about so much more than just managing—it’s about nurturing and guiding in a way that puts compassionate care first. For us, it’s a reminder that training isn’t just a checkbox; it’s a commitment. We continually develop our team to provide the best possible care, and we’re proud to offer some of the best training in the industry. 🌱 We’ll be sharing a closer look at our training in the coming weeks, showing our dedication to growth and excellence in care! #SteppingStonesCare #TherapeuticLeadership #ContinuousLearning #CompassionateCare #TeamTraining

Back to School Success: Journey of Perseverance! At Stepping Stones Care, we love hearing about the amazing progress our young people make. Last week, we caught up with one of the children in our care after school to talk about how he's been settling into the new term. Despite facing some challenges with school in the past, he has shown incredible commitment by attending every day. 🎒✨ We chatted about how far he’s come, from the days when getting out of bed was a real struggle to now enjoying school so much more. He told us he’s been having fun with school activities, making great friends, and adjusting well to the new routine. He’s even motivated by cool incentives at home, like using VR! We couldn’t be prouder of his positive outlook and determination. Returning to routine after a break is tough for anyone, whether at school or work, but he’s is showing us all the power of perseverance! 💪🌟 #BackToSchool #Perseverance #SteppingStonesCare #PositiveProgress #YouthSuccess #SupportAndCare

At Stepping Stones Care, we take immense pride in our induction process, knowing it sets the foundation for our new team members to flourish and excel in their roles while aligning with our core values. We're thrilled to share some fantastic feedback we've received from our recent recruits about their induction experience: 👉 "Throughout the process, there was an amazing and well-established connection with Donna and James." 👉 "By far the best induction I've had. Past inductions with other employers were quite minimal, filling in paperwork and shadow shifts, but this was brilliant." 👉 "The training has helped me have a better understanding around different behaviours and why children may be displaying them." 👉 "The Model of Care and expectations of the role are an important starting point for new starters with Stepping Stones Care." These testimonials not only reflect the dedication of our induction team but also show our commitment to providing comprehensive training that empowers our staff to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the children in our care. #SteppingStonesCare #InductionExcellence #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork 🌟
