Pica? What's that?
<p>We will kick off with the basics: what pica means, how to say it and why it can help to name what’s going on. Families often tell us they worry that when their relative transitions from the family home, their concerns about pica won’t be taken seriously or that other people will misunderstand the risks. So the panel talk about how recognising pica can support clearer planning, safer support and conversations with services.</p><br><p>Resources mentioned in this episode: </p><br><p><a href="https://www.challengingbehaviour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Pica-Resource.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PICA Resource</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
