Speaking Services
Holding on to purpose, reigniting belief, inspiring and supporting positive change.

Journeys That Care delivers keynote and speaking sessions that reconnect professionals to the heart of their practice and the difference they make in the lives of care-experienced children, young people, and families.
Rooted in lived experience and informed by evidence, our talks offer insight into the realities of care, the long reach of adversity, and the life-changing impact of relational, strengths-based support.
Whether delivered at conferences, team days, or events, our speaking sessions are designed to:
-
Inspire reflection and reignite purpose
-
Challenge assumptions and shift perspectives
-
Highlight what supports thriving, not just surviving
-
Keep the voice and experiences of children and young people at the heart of the work
-
Encourage professionals to keep believing in the power of their role
Let us help you hold onto the impact of what you do and how you do it- with the hope, connection, and belief that change is not only possible, it's already happening.

“Mary brings so many levels to her work, professional attainment and development, empathy and compassion, and lived experience. Mary’s journey has shaped her to be a powerful advocate for Children’s Rights, and through her spoken word she has the ability to bring an entire conference hall to a moment of silence and reflection, and then leads them onto a path of wanting to be better for children and young people. It was a privilege to share the stage with her, and I look forward to it being the first collaboration of many!”.
David Thompson; CEO Inicio Group, Founder The National SaILS Conference, Chairman The Supported Accommodation Network & National Association of Supported Accommodation Providers.
