#ParentalAlienationAwareness: Did you know that 12% of American adults are estranged from one or both parents? It's a challenging reality that many are facing. Estrangement can happen for various reasons, like unresolved conflicts and abuse. Let's foster self-compassion and understanding as we navigate these complexities. #FamilyDynamics #HealingJourney #Empathy #EstrangedParents #OpenDialogue

Did you know that currently 275 million children worldwide - or 1 in 5 - are growing up in homes where domestic violence takes place (i.e. experiencing Childhood Domestic Violence or CDV)? Yet CDV remains largely unknown and unaddressed, with less than 10% awareness. Awareness is the first step toward positive change. Share this post or leave a comment with your thoughts on how each of us can contribute to raising awareness to help foster change.💙🌍 #ChildhoodSafety #BreakTheSilence #ChildhoodTrauma #YouAreNotAlone #CDV #ChildhoodDomesticViolence #CDVAwareness

💡This reflection from Lynne Seagle rings so true in the current NDIS climate. An over emphasis on compliance and enforcement is the antithesis to positive behaviour support. A regulatory paradigm shift is needed - to a model that breaks down administrative barriers and empowers staff to do their work well. ✅Today, make a point to check in with your staff and provide them with positive feedback on everything that is going well in their work. Then, ask them what they need from you to help them do their work even better.

This is a very transparent and reflective statement. As an Employment Services Manager often what we look at is motivation and how is that an inherent driver of success and engagement in the workplace. Punishment is not the way to go. What is the goal in the end? You will not scare people into being better staff members. Consequences for sure if appropriate in the situation, as we are responsible for people, but punishment no. To teach, to have accountability, to have a supportive environment, to have honest and accurate collaboration if challenges are faced or if problems are noticed? If a ball is dropped, noting if a ball is dropped and picking up that ball together as a team to see if we can do better, that is the way to go.

Be a change agent for those that need a voice. Individuals with disabilities facing domestic violence encounter unique challenges such as dependence on caregivers, isolation, communication barriers, financial vulnerability, increased susceptibility, and cultural/institutional factors. These challenges can heighten the risk or impact of abuse. Remember, specialized resources like shelters and hotlines offer tailored assistance for individuals with disabilities experiencing domestic violence. Seeking help and support is crucial. #DisabilityRights #DomesticViolenceAwareness #SupportAndResources #paralegals

𝐃𝐚𝐲 7🟠🟠🟠🟠 Gender-based violence (GBV) affects not only women and girls; it also affects boys, men, and people with disabilities. Everyone has the right to live safely and free from violence and abuse. There are various forms of GBV, including physical, emotional, economic, and societal norm-related violence. Understanding the root causes of these issues is essential for effectively addressing and mitigating their impact. Recognizing the different types of GBV helps in developing targeted interventions and fostering awareness in communities. All of us need to rally together and lend our support to the survivors and victims. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives! 🟠🟠🟠🟠🟠 #UN #Genderbasedviolence #awarenesscampaign #empowered #Survivors #Womenempowered. #gendervoice.
