What you'll learn

Care leavers repeatedly describe being treated as a 'case' rather than a person, asked the same questions over and over, and facing stigma from landlords, employers and services. This course is about that experience and how to handle it without shrinking. Lessons cover: why the stigma exists and that it's not about you; what you have to disclose and what you don't, to landlords, employers and services; scripts for being treated like a file; and how to own your story on your own terms, in interviews and applications, without it defining you. Practical, validating, and built around real situations.
