Researching Poverty and Vulnerability

To truly support vulnerable families, we must see poverty for what it is—a pervasive risk factor that influences every other domain of a child’s life.

Investing in early intervention, social work training, disability inclusion, and long-term support for care leavers and young carers is essential.

Can You Forget Trauma?

Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to an event—or series of events—that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. It’s not just about what happened, but how it made you feel: unsafe, powerless, or deeply shaken. Trauma can stem from a one-time incident like an accident or loss, or from long-term experiences like abuse, neglect, or living in constant fear.

Harassment refers to repeated, unwanted behavior that causes alarm or distress. This can include threatening messages, abusive phone calls, or unwelcome visits. Stalking goes a step further—it’s a pattern of fixated and obsessive behavior that causes someone to feel fearful or anxious. It can include following someone, monitoring their movements, or contacting them despite being asked to stop.

Living with Depression: A Silent Battle Few Truly See

Depression doesn’t happen without cause. It’s not a weakness or a choice — it is a reaction to pain, pressure, and often unimaginable hardships. Understanding the many reasons why someone may be suffering is the first step toward compassion, not judgment. Whether the cause is trauma, genetics, loss, or societal pressures, every person fighting depression deserves understanding, support, and the knowledge that their pain is real — and that healing is possible. Everyone’s journey is different, but no one should have to walk it alone.
