13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: for kids that you can help.

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 4: Okay, Yesvember is I mean, we're advocating all year, We're

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 4: doing things all year. We now have support services. But

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 4: Yesvember is about raising awareness to have the community involved,

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 4: to say we still have forty six thousand kids in

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 4: out of home care that we need to find permanent,

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 4: loving families for and we keep we keep stating this

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: so that people are aware of what we're doing. We

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 4: had a huge conference this here whereby we invited international

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: speakers to come and we use all the findings from

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 4: this conference, having everyone way in from the careers to

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 4: the adoptees, to the experts in the field of trauma,

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 4: and then we advise federal and state governments on policies.

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: So we want to shift the needle and make sure

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: that these kids are looked after. And one of our

28
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: biggest things is which I'm very passionate about the moment,

29
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: is the trauma to have a trauma based care so

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 4: that our educators, our care is understand because there is

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 4: no child that is separated from their birth family that

32
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: does not experience trauma. And frankly, all of us have

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 4: experienced childhood trauma. It's just varying degrees. So I want

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 4: teachers to be aware so they can flag it when

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: they see kids. So many times these kids are just

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: accused of bad behavior.

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 5: They're hurting. You want to get bad behavior and you're hurting,

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 5: or you're not. You haven't go anywhere to go.

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: So we've got supports that they can go online, they

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 4: can talk to us, and we can empower them.

41
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 5: We've got so many different initiatives.

42
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: And since the time that we've been involved with you

43
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: and what you've been doing with this, I've learned so

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 3: much more about it. What about you, what's something that

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: you've found that's been surprising. You're always learning something new

46
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: about it because you But if you found something lately

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: and you're going, wow, I didn't know that before.

48
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 4: I think, and I don't know if it's a zeitgeist

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 4: at the moment, but the trauma piece, to me is

50
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 4: so important for all of us.

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 5: I mean, we can give a child a loving home,

52
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 5: a bed, to blanket.

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 4: Food, but until you deal with that initial trauma, the

54
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: pain that they carry and do some healing aspects around that,

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: that child cannot thrive.

56
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 5: And that's for all of us. And that's why this

57
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 5: year at the conference, we had.

58
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 4: Garbor Marte, who's an amazing advise everyone to check out

59
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 4: his books and he's got to think all the wisdom

60
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: of trauma out at the moment of documentary. And Bruce Perry,

61
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: who just wrote the book with Oprah what happened to You?

62
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 5: Not What's wrong with You? What happened to You? And

63
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 5: I want it.

64
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: This is my big push is to have governments realize

65
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: that this piece needs to be in places not just

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: for kids who travel through adoptions. There's kids you know

67
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 4: who're being abused at home, or have experienced sexual domestic

68
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: violence something like that. We need to understand it so

69
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: we can help them. So that's my biggest piece that

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 4: I've learned more about.

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Well, one way of drawing attention to this is something

72
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: that you have done for Yesvember is a dance challenge.

73
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: Let me get it up on my phone and we've

74
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: been looking at it this morning.

75
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: Here it is. Look at you. Tell us about the

76
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: dance I'm watching?

77
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 5: Well, I love it. They made a little choreograph number

78
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 5: we all had to learn.

79
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: So I spent my Saturday afternoon practicing my moves and

80
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: there you have it.

81
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,520
