Caring for people with Autism in Camden

This month I was commissioned by Richard Lohan of Camden's accessible information team to draw out some images that will be used for a short film to explain how to assist young people with autism who may be going through a period of change.

I especially liked drawing out the breathing exercise and thought we could all probably do with the adoption of the worry box: put all your worries in a box and then make an appointment to go through them one by one with a person who cares about you.

 

Camden Evening and Night Time Citizens' Assembly - final week

Had a lovely session last week with the fabulous citizens of Camden, in a central London location. Much debate, disagreement, discussion and lots of heart in the room. 

And yes, there is a blank space in the middle of the image - the final vision is still at the 'wordsmithery' stage, so watch this space.

And here's me next to the graphic, absolutely exhausted at the end of the day!

 

Camden Evening and Night Time Citizens Assembly

On Saturday I was asked to come and listen to a gathering of Camden residents as they came up with ideas for their vibrant borough. Camden has so much going on at night, but this was a chance for other voices to be heard. More on this to come!

 

Camden Model of Social Care - A Tree of Life

Inspiring to work for such a progressive team with Tim Fisher in Camden council and in collaboration with Karen Partridge at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust (and many team members behind the scenes).

This will be printed as a giant 2A0 poster for people to see at work - when we finally get back to our offices!

Some details of the image:

We Make Camden - Graphic Recording in London

Had a wonderful day in Camden recently - capturing a huge amount of energy, diversity and fun with all that Camden offers. 

Very inspiring event organised by the council, and visited by Sir Kier Starmer who told those present to "Applaud yourselves!"

So true.
