Connections are Key 2020: Unlocking the heart of relationship based practice

By Corra Foundation
In 2019 Corra Foundation’s Partnership Drugs Initiative (PDI) gathered information on third sector support services, to identify elements of practice that support, strengthen and maintain positive relationships for children, young people and families affected by drugs and alcohol.
The purpose of this research was to influence knowledge, policy and practice of relationship-based support so that children and families can develop and sustain loving and nurturing relationships.
This built on Corra’s previous action research project Everyone Has a Story, that found listening and trusting relationships were critical to providing high quality support.
The research launched on 25 March, you can listen to the webinar recording and Q&A here.Â
