Episode 17 - Karin's story
Manage episode 360673380 series 2970259
In this episode I speak with Karin. Karin is a mother to two boys adopted from the Philippines and President of the Adoptive, Kinship and Fostering Families Association of the ACT known as AKKFFA. Karin believes it is important to find your community of people when it comes to adoption, fostering and kinship care.
Karin was previously a Member of the ACT Legislative Assembly, and uses her experience to work towards a better system for all families involved.
She is passionately learning the impacts of early life trauma and the effects on neurobiology and she shares that information with families through AKFFA and the adoption, fostering, kinship space.
Karin recently held a Trust Based Relational Intervention workshop known as TBRI at AKFFA and talks through various tools used to bring healing and well-being to children who come from hard places. TBRI is an attachment based trauma informed intervention designed by the Karyn Purvis Institute of child development focussing on 3 principles - Connecting, Correcting and Empowering.
I loved chatting with Karin on this one so let’s get into it!
