Family Finding and the Power of Connection - Elizabeth Wendel

In this Professional Talk, Humphrey Hawksley speaks with Elizabeth Wendel, President and Co-founder of Pale Blue and an internationally recognised expert in Family Finding™ and Family Seeing™.

Elizabeth explains the principle at the heart of Family Finding: everybody has somebody, and they can be found if we are willing to try. She challenges professionals to think beyond placement and physical safety alone, asking what may also be lost when children are separated from their original relationships.
