Creating Safe Spaces

Communities should strive to create safe spaces where parents can hold family meetings, share their thoughts and experiences with others, and amass as much information and resources as possible with minimal judgment. Such safe spaces become community centres for information, resources, and support, creating a sense of belonging and unity among the families.

The other way is through holding events that promote bonding among families, either in a game night, financial literacy workshop, or an outdoor community day. When people feel connected to the family within, they reach out, help one another, and support each other in times of need.
