Episode 27 - Mondays with Melissa
Mending Families is hosted by Melissa Pemberton and she brings you weekly content that is a mix of trauma aware interviews, parenting tips for those caring for kids from adversity, and stories from people just like you as they share their beautiful messy moments. Melissa hopes that when you listen each week, you will feel encouraged, inspired and take a little something away to help you and your family move from broken to mended.
On today’s episode, Melissa shares some thoughts about how the educational system can provide safer spaces for our kids. She also will give caregivers a few pointers from her own personal experience of raising 4 kids, some of which are still in the school system. Whether you are an educator, or a caregiver, this episode is for you!
