Creating space for change
Pause works to prevent the damaging consequences of thousands more children being taken into care each year.
Pause works with women who have experienced, or are at risk of, repeated pregnancies that result in children needing to be removed from their care. We aim to give women the opportunity to pause and take control of their lives breaking a destructive cycle that causes both them and their children deep trauma.

This is such a great idea. Knowing that other women have shared experience can have a positive impact on Pause Participants and can spur them on to try new things, or just to keep going. And it’s great to see Pause Practices working together too. twitter.com/NELCouncil/sta…
