Ann’s been working on resilience for so long that she’s now won a lifetime award for it. Congratulations Ann.
Cindy Blackstock Halifax resilience conference keynote blog
Cindy Blackstock has just taken the Canadian government to court for injustices to aboriginal children. Cindy looks at the audience and tells us that her mentor gave her some advice which I just love – ‘don’t fall too much in love with your own organisation. And don’t fall in love with your own business card, as you might have to give them both up in the end to fight for your children.’
Communities of Practice (CoPs)
Our resilience Communities of Practice aim to generate new ways of thinking about and building resilience with children and young people having tough times, and to shape resilience practice for the better. They cut across traditional organisational barriers and hierarchies, to bring all perspectives to bear on a particular topic.

Hats off to the team for getting two very diverse groups of people together for both the morning and afternoon sessions – people from the uni, local council, police, schools and further education colleges to name just a few places from whence they hailed.
