vulnerable child support

There are many children in our society today that experience extremely traumatic and adverse childhood years. During my time with Child Protection I worked with many of these children and came to learn about many of their unique challenges in relation to their capacity to achieve normal developmental milestones, have secure emotional and psychological connections and experience a good quality of overall health.

Children who experience trauma during childhood and specifically those in out of home care are more likely to experience a broad range of chronic health conditions ranging through childhood and into adulthood as well as experience economic insecurity making it significantly harder for these children to obtain appropriate support in relation to their health (Ahrens, K. R., Garrison, M. M., & Courtney, M. E. (2014)).

one on one coaching

As a Certified Holistic Health coach who has spent many years working in very high stress, traumatic and reactive environments I feel very passionately about the wellbeing of individuals and staff. I have seen the very direct connections between staff, mothers/parents and individuals who when are experiencing a high level of wellness they can operate at such a superior capacity than when they are depleted, out of balance and only just surviving. Prioritizing wellness in todays culture is a non negotiable and when we ignore it we soon see the flow on affect in our capacity to cope with work, family, life, health and basic life responsibilities.

permanent care assessment

While working in Child Protection, I held a unique role focused primarily on Permanent Care Assessments, where I developed extensive experience in conducting thorough assessments and analyses. My work centred on evaluating both the needs of children and the capacity of carers to support a permanent care case plan. Through this process, I gained a deep understanding of the critical importance of conducting these assessments with foresight, depth, and a child-centred approach.

A Permanent Care Assessment is more than just an evaluation – it is a pivotal opportunity to shape the foundation of a child's future. That foundation can either perpetuate trauma, provide healing and stability, or exist somewhere in between. Given the profound impact of these decisions, it is essential that practitioners approach assessments with intention, expertise, and a deep awareness of their lasting consequences.

At The Nourished Foundation, we are committed to conducting comprehensive and thoughtful Permanent Care Assessments. Our approach ensures open communication, experienced practitioners, and a meticulous review process, all aimed at securing the best possible future for these vulnerable children. By entrusting us with this responsibility, you are ensuring that each child has the best chance at a strong, stable, and nurturing foundation for the years ahead.
