Leader with a particular interest & investment in out-of-home care and supporting the healing journey for children and young people with experiences of trauma.
Yesterday's apology to those who have experienced harm in care historically was not only deserving, but a crucial step forward in helping those who have been harmed by a system that ought to have kept them safe, begin to heal. An already incredibly vulnerable population of people experienced some of the most inhumane, cruel and damaging treatment by those who were responsible for their safety and whilst this acknowledgement is long overdue, I hope this moment affords opportunity for path of recovery moving forward. This does not mean the work is done. The out-of-home care systems in Australia are fatigued and in many ways no longer fit for purpose. Todays apology, I hope, inspires a revitalisation in the way in which we understand and approach care for our most vulnerable young people. Children and young people living in care have a fundamental right to an experience that is characterised by safety and stability, where services and supports are individualised and do not require unreasonable criteria to be met, where the voice of a young person is not only heard but acted upon, and a care system that thrives as opposed to survives. We need to better today. We need to do better tomorrow. We need to better - always. I do want to acknowledge Honorable Jacinta Allan for leading a government that is invested in righting wrong and doing better. Our kids and families are relying on us, as a collective, to get this right.

👵🌿 Smaller Families, Longer Lives: The Emerging Senior Care Crisis 👴🌿 As life expectancy increases and birth rates decline, we face a looming question: Are we prepared for the senior care challenges on the horizon? With an aging population and fewer young caregivers, the demand for senior care is outpacing the supply. 📈 This shift requires a radical rethinking of how we approach elder care. From integrating more advanced care technologies to reconsidering immigration policies for care staff, the solutions are as complex as the problem itself. Additionally, the ethical implications of assisted suicide and its role in healthcare cost management prompt a serious reflection on our societal values and responsibilities. 🤔 As we navigate these changes, it's crucial to maintain the dignity and respect our elders deserve, ensuring they receive the care and companionship they need in their later years. Let's not forget, the quality of our elder care today sets the precedent for our own future. 💪 #SeniorCareCrisis #AgingPopulation #ElderCare #HealthcareReform #TPCTN How pro-lifers should approach the looming senior care crisis (angelusnews.com)

Experienced Chief Executive Officer & General Manager | 16 Years in Early Years Sector | IT Background | Podcast Host
As a survivor of institutional care, yesterday’s apology from the Victorian Parliament prompted a deep personal reflection. It was a pivotal moment in acknowledging the profound injustices, neglect, and trauma experienced by countless Victorian children who were placed in institutional care. For too long, the stories of those who suffered within these systems were silenced, dismissed, or buried beneath layers of bureaucracy and societal indifference. The apology signifies a crucial step towards recognition, validation, and healing. While words can’t undo the pain and suffering endured, they have immense power to validate experiences and pave the way for meaningful reconciliation. This apology serves as a testament to the courage and perseverance of survivors who have tirelessly advocated for truth, accountability, and justice. To everyone that spoke up and shared their stories – thank you for your bravery! As a part of Victoria’s Early Years system, let’s recommit ourselves to fostering environments of compassion, empathy, and support for survivors and their families. May this apology serve as a catalyst for meaningful change, driving us towards a future where every child is valued, protected, and empowered to thrive.

State Public Health Officer and Director, California Department of Public Health, Follow me #Threads
On February 21, 2021 (see below), I wrote about my main motivation for leaving local public health to come to CDPH: “I could not pass up the opportunity to shape the future of public health services for a state of 40 million people, to advocate for the resources to rebuild our public health infrastructure, and to fight for social and racial equity and health on a larger stage.” https://lnkd.in/gNCZRJ37
