In this episode I speak with Kristen, a passionate early career practitioner in the children, young persons and families space who in her spare time is also continuing her professional development by completing a Master’s of Social Work. Kristen uses relationship-based practice to work alongside young parents in supporting them to improve child developmental outcomes, breaking the cycle of generational disadvantage, and to empower them to realise their parental strengths.  Links to resources mentioned in this week’s episode: Circle of Security International (Early Intervention Program for Parents and Children) - https://www.circleofsecurityinternational.com/ Australian Childhood Foundation - https://www.childhood.org.au/ Raising Children Network - https://raisingchildren.net.au/ This episode's transcript can be viewed here:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/118sNDGkeExij9ilP_ewZEMwWop8v_a4X5gyFwoWa474/edit?usp=sharing --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/socialworkspotlight/message
