About This Podcast

‘A Home and Healing For Every Child’ is an Adopt Change podcast where we host conversations with global thought leaders, experts and individuals with lived experience on topics including foster and kinship care, adoption, child welfare, trauma and healing. Adopt Change is a not-for-profit organisation founded to ensure A Home for Every Child and healing for those who have experienced trauma. We believe that every child has the right to grow up in a safe, nurturing and permanent family home, and that all families need the appropriate supports for children to thrive.
