Supporting Care Affected Girls - Okela Douglas, Sister System
Manage episode 327285257 series 2912674
As a teacher having seen even just the tip of the iceberg of the trauma of looked after children, any organisation or individuals championing these young people get all my love. This is not an easy conversation and it touches on topics that make people feel uncomfortable but it is important. Okela is very thoughtful and this is a super edited version of a conversation of over an hour.
We as a community or a country will always be measured by how we treat our most vulnerable people and in my book, care affected children fall into this category. I refer to the prison statistics - children in care are less than one per cent of the population yet 25% of the homeless population and the prison population have spent time in care. These are children who we have failed.
Let's try and make a difference!
