I salute you, Amanda! 🫡 To craft 10 years of craziness and carnage into a coherent document is a mammoth task. And, yes, those patterns! Blame, shame, punish, rinse & repeat… I’ve seen them too - for over a decade in child ‘protection’ meetings, and now in the family court (… and in couple and family therapy sessions, TAF meetings, heated debates in the pub…).

When are we going to stop doing more of what makes things worse? When are we going to accept that Old Authority thinking, linear explanations, individual-oriented interventions, pathologising narratives and coercive, adversarial methods cannot deliver a just society for our children? Let’s start Bridging the Gap between outdated, toxic processes and child-focused practice… I reckon NVR might help…

"Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Today we honor Dr. King's legacy and his vision of a more just and compassionate world. At the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development, we carry forward this spirit of hope by walking alongside children and families who have experienced trauma.

Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and valued. Every family deserves support and healing. Through connection-based, trauma-informed care, we strive to be that stone of hope: transforming despair into possibility, isolation into belonging, and pain into resilience.

Dr. King reminded us that our destinies are intertwined. When we invest in healing for our most vulnerable children and families, we invest in hope for us all.
