This episode provides an opportunity for you to listen in to a very special discussion which went deeper and into some of the far reaches of engaging with families in reviews. You will hear what happened when a group of professionals who care deeply about honest, trauma informed family engagement aired some forthright, vulnerable, points. Acknowledging there are no absolutes, there are sometimes no concrete answers. The conversation which took place in this intimate zoom room generated a range of emotions. Transformative review practice relies on conversations like this happening.
