Happy National Child Day 2022.
I don't think we are doing a very good job protecting children. I know we aren't in BC.

#Resource: Online webinar:
Re-Imagining Children's Rights Through a Family-Centred Lens

Every child has a right to a life free from harm within a community that supports them and their family to thrive.
But does every child get to experience these rights?

Join Starlings Community and their partners at Family Advocacy Support Centre, as they recognize National Child Day in a special webinar that will inspire a society that supports children to experience their rights through a Family Centred lens.

This 90-minute webinar will utilize lived experts along with professionals working within the youth and family advocacy sector to explore how stigma affects youth whose parents have unaddressed trauma and problematic substance use, how the "child welfare" family policing system can impact families, and will ultimately empower a society that has the capacity to support EVERY child to experience their rights by applying a family centred lens.

Adults wield so much #power over #children. Often unintentionally.
A #ChildRights approach seeks to level out some of the power imbalance & create space for children to be active #participants.
It’s beautiful to watch when adults actively & respectfully #listen to children.
