“I am sharing the Listen Out Loud practice with my colleagues… This is changing things. Living Words needs to be in every unit, in every care home.” – Karen, carer and project member in pilot action-learning course

Feedback from our most recent course, March 2023: “It makes me closer to residents and I can really feel their feelings in their dementia stage.” What surprised you the most about the action learning sessions? “The connection between me and residents.” ; “The techniques used can really help someone engage who might struggle otherwise.”

Bit of Background

We’ve honed our Listen Out Loud methodology for 15 years and know its impact. We’re sharing this communicative technique more widely, not only to answer the requests we receive from local, national, and international clients, but because we want to positively impact lives and relationships by enabling more people to feel heard, valued, and understood.

We know how tough it is to run a care home in this ‘post’-Covid environment, whether it’s keeping hold of staff or employing new workers, often from overseas. The sector has been changed.

Our CPD-accredited Listen Out Loud Foundation Course will help carers, care home managers, residents, and their relatives – support their care home on a mission to be outstanding: ‘an outstanding service as one that is’ “flexible and responsive to people’s individual needs and preferences, finding creative ways to enable people to live a full life.” (A.Sutcliffe, 2016, CQC:The art of being outstanding).
