Services providers and front line staff CAN NOT DO IT ALONE
Relationship building between and among the diverse stakeholders is essential. Successful innovations require that everyone who cares is involved and plays a role. In fact, these interactions often serve as generators of innovation through the “between” aspects of relationships. Listening, sharing stories, learning from one another, and being curious and humble all help create and nurture the strong relationships that are a foundation to effectively.
There has been many significant changes for youth involved with Children’s Services over the past few years; especially the most vulnerable Youth want connection, but traditional child welfare services don't meet their needs, according to the voices of youth. We need new thinking and to be able to work with the youth rather than trying to gain control over the youth in order to gain compliance.

These youth typically come from early traumatic experiences and have suffered many situations in which they have been abandoned and rejected. Punishing them instead showing compassion has not worked, thus the need for an alternative approach.
