Three messages of encouragement
We started 5 years ago and, looking back, we have nothing to regret: over 1,000 people trained in trauma-informed caregiving, hundreds of adoptive and foster parents counselled and part of our support groups, dozens of children who are no longer in institutions but in families due to our direct support.
