Have you wondered how a humble pipe cleaner could be a helpful tool when working towards inclusion in your church services? Or have you ever felt concerned for people in your own community who couldn’t afford necessary therapies for their children? Our guest today has a solution! Dr Naomi Graham shares her passion for providing professional therapy and help through her charity, Growing Hope. You might be surprised to hear where the clinics are always set up. Maybe you’ll even feel the nudge to get involved in one yourself? In this edition to coincide with World Mental Health Day, Naomi encourages us to think outside of the usual box of Sunday school toys and tells us about how we can improve our welcoming skills when considering children who have additional needs; she shares about a powerful, free, and easily accessible tool that Naomi and all her therapists use when spending time with their clients; and we discuss how this tool is something we can all use with our friends and family as we share our Christian faith in our everyday lives. Whether you have specific skills in therapies for people with additional needs or not, make sure you listen to find out how we can help encourage and love families of children with additional needs, in the name of Jesus. Learn how you can make a difference for people in your own community as we learn how to reveal God through some very ordinary questions.
