Thank you for resharing this blog post still such an important topic to think about including in relation to children in care.
During #ChallengePoverty Week, we’re re-sharing Tiegan Boyens’ @Ginger_Adoptee blog post, which discussed why a greater understanding of poverty is needed to help make real change for children and families: https://t.co/N7LxfgPjI2

🧵👇 great thread on what current state of gov means for drug and alcohol sector, thanks for the final grounding words amongst the chaos @OliverStanding
We have all been fixed to the news and fascinated and horrified in equal measure by the chaos. But what does it mean for treatment and recovery policy-making? The short answer is we don't know yet. Some observations follows:
