Personal Note
With awareness and compassion derived from my own early trauma and healing, my goal is to make a difference for children and the world.
What’s done to children, they will do to society. Consequently, we are all affected by what’s done to children. Caring for children is our common concern. I encourage the examination of our beliefs and practices to better serve children. Thanks for your interest in my work, and I hope we can connect to make a difference. Ron
