Description
How can radical presence transform trauma care?
Guest host, Tim Smith engages with Mel, an experienced foster mother and trauma care facilitator, to explore the power of empathy, grace, and consistency in caregiving. Mel shares her journey from fostering children in Ottawa to training others in the impactful methods she has learned, emphasizing the importance of understanding the needs behind behaviours. She underscores the role of the church and community in providing sustainable support, urging caregivers to balance self-care with their responsibilities. Through personal stories and profound insights, the conversation highlights the freedom found in shifting from a 'fix-it' mentality to truly being present with those in hard places.
