Your why and your how have to align.

Make sure your why’s and how’s match up. For example if you are a medical professional. Your why is to help people. So you how should align to help as many people as possible. Unfortunately, I see Dr’s & medical professionals how’s not align with their why’s. The perfect example of this is when a Dr charges hundreds or thousands of dollars for treatments. This is hypocritical as the patient needs financial security to not be poor, stressed and unhealthy. So If you actually wanted to help people the why of medical professionals; Your how would be to charge least amount possible and see as many patients as possible. “When the How’s and why’s don’t align that’s exploitation“ paraphrase of Gabrielle Union

It was a blast to have the opportunity to speak with Jason Grygla on the bidirectional relationship on neurodiversity and attachment. Jason has a such wealth of knowledge and expertise regarding this intersection. Here are couple points from the presentation that you may find interesting: -High risk infants with disorganized attachments were over nine times more likely to receive an ASD diagnosis than high-risk infants with secure attachments. - Clients with an ASD diagnosis show fewer and less pronounced attachment behaviors and their attachment looks different. -Difference of social referencing may not mean a disruption of attachment. -Socially indiscriminat behavior may be more driven by interest vs disrupted behavior.

The RJC is excited to announce our inaugural Wales Conference, set to take place in Cardiff on Thursday, 16th May 2024. Join us as we explore the intersection between restorative culture and community transformation and growth. The premise of this conference is rooted in the principle that people possess the abilities to devise their own solutions in the face of difficulties, be it in an educational setting, in their community, at home, or within the justice system. Restorative practice provides values, culture and a reliable structure for relational and trauma informed practice in any context. The different approaches help build, maintain and repair relationships and grow community strengths, to prevent and address conflicts effectively. A restorative approach prioritises inclusion and diversity of perspectives to problem solve well, promoting healing and reconciliation rather than punishment and exclusion. Restorative practice is most effective when implemented as part of a larger restorative culture, where communities are empowered to utilise their own strengths and resources before professional interventions that may have an impact on their lives. When all members of a community are fully committed to fostering a restorative culture, it provides the foundation for transforming conflicts into opportunities for personal and collective learning and success. A community that fully embraces restorative practice has the potential to cultivate a safer, more joyful, and more productive environment for all individuals involved. Central to this is implementing strategies to cultivate a thriving community culture centred on restorative principles. This entails examining ways to assist and enhance the efforts of various organisations that serve and support the community, such as schools, workplaces, criminal justice services, healthcare providers, and local government services, in establishing and integrating their own restorative culture. It is only by accomplishing this that we can establish a suitable environment for empowering communities to embrace restorative practice.

One of the common questions I've heard over the years about Global Medical Brigades is when we will begin our work in a new country. It doesn't happen often. Where and when to expand are comprehensive decisions that take into consideration a multitude of factors. We ask ourselves and prospective community partners questions like: - Is our collaboration scalable beyond medical relief? Will it be possible to tap into and sustain local leadership to promote access to healthcare, public health and water infrastructure, and economic development? - What are the current and potential socioeconomic strengths and challenges at local, national, and regional levels? - What needs are prioritized and requested by prospective partner communities? What resources do we have to offer? Do these align? With our impactful history of sustainable development in Central America, strong local leadership, and high stakeholder interest, communities Belize became an undeniable fit for our program. It's exciting to hear feedback live from volunteers Aaliyah and Maggie from Montclair State University!
