***CONTENT WARNING: In this episode we discuss child abuse, exploitation and predatory behaviour. Please use caution when considering if this episode is right for you. We believe it's vital to discuss these issues and bring them into our collective awareness, in order to better protect our children. We do cover key child safety themes and strategies, and we also encourage you to reach out for professional support.***
Caroline Ellen is a social worker and parenting coach, who believes all children deserve a childhood free to play and discover. With her raw, real and relatable style; she combines her personal and professional experience to help connect parents back to themselves and their children.
Caroline is the founder of Safer, Stronger Kids and is on a mission to improve children's physical and emotional safety, through stronger parent-child relationships.
We really go to all the places in this interview; from the journey of Safer, Stronger Kids and it's key theme of body safety education for parents, to emotion coaching and the steps involved, to creating a family culture where no topic is "taboo", key safety tips to prevent child abuse and exploitation, in real life and online, what we really mean when we say our child needs to be "more resilient" and how we can foster their development in this area, and finally the changes Caroline would love to wave her magic wand to create in our education and allied health systems.
It's a long one, and we promise it is SO worth it! ;)

Join Sammy Anne (Map the Maze) and Patricia Falcetta (Social Living Solutions) as they discuss Nurturing Neurodiversity; all the ways we can create a truly inclusive society.
Our passion lies in supporting whole families to navigate the challenges and revel in the joys of their neurodiverse children. A big part of this support entails advocating for changes within our systems and society, to ensure our children grow up knowing and loving who they are. No matter our ability, race, gender, sexuality, beliefs – we all deserve to be loved and appreciated.
We aim to educate, connect and inspire. We do this by sharing with you our stories, experiences and relevant research, along with neurodiverse voices through interviews and quotes with permission. We open dialogue on what we can all do to create positive social change.
With backgrounds in the education and allied health industries, as well as experience working directly with families, we work within AND continually challenge the existing systems we all operate under. We wholeheartedly believe that if we can all open our minds and our hearts, share the message of love and equity for all, that we will be part of creating a truly inclusive world for generations to come.
We hope you will join us on our journey.
