Before having my own child, I worked with children and youth with &ldquo;challenging behaviours&rdquo;. I would go into their family homes, work with their teachers and support the family as a whole.
Many of the children I worked with had been through significant trauma, abuse, and life changing circumstances. Many of their parents had been through the same as a child.
&nbsp;Instead of just looking at the child&rsquo;s &ldquo;challenging behaviour&rdquo; we looked at &ldquo;what does this child need us to know&rdquo;.&nbsp;We discussed that a behaviour is not just behaviour and we worked to uncover the need that was being met by said behaviour.
Overtime I noticed that giving these parents or caregivers several tips and strategies still wasn&rsquo;t resulting in lasting change. These parents were already burnt out, exhausted, and frustrated with their children. The long lasting change I was trying to create, wasn&rsquo;t going to occur unless the parents felt supported first.
Back in the day, community living was a given. People lived in communities for safety, socialisation, and shared resources. From the earliest days of humanity our brains have been programmed to live in close proximity to others, to share food and tools, to protect each other and to exchange ideas.
But the past century has drastically changed our concept of community, no matter if you live rurally or in a suburban neighbourhood. Families no longer co-habitat as they once did and we often get caught up in the reality of &ldquo;constant busy-ness&rdquo; that we don&rsquo;t take time to even get to know our neighbours.
The impact of this is apparent on parents and children. The adage &ldquo;it takes a village to raise a child is absolutely still true. But somewhere along the way, we have lost the &ldquo;village&rdquo; we need to raise children in nurturing, creative and safe ways. And as a result, parents and caregivers are missing out on crucial learning experiences, much needed support systems and are feeling isolated and alone in their struggles.&nbsp;
Thus, The Nurtured Village was born. Whilst working directly with children and adolescents, The Nurtured Village also supports parents and caregivers. Healthy parents and caregivers leads to a healthy family. I&rsquo;m not talking about just physical health, but emotional health is incredibly important too. Often parents and caregivers feel stressed, overworked, judged and inadequate.&nbsp;Burnout and exhaustion are real, but without a community around to validate those feelings, many feel that pain is unique to them.
Our aim is to ensure that not only the child is thriving in their &ldquo;village&rdquo; but that their parents and caregivers are feeling seen and supported also!&nbsp;

The Reily Foundation Incorporated is a South Australian not-for-profit organisation that provides practical support, education and advocacy for parents whose children have been removed by the State&rsquo;s child protection department.&nbsp;

We recognise that where possible children should have the right to be raised in a safe and supportive environment, preferably by their biological parent/s.
We acknowledge that in all the work we do the safety and well-being of children is paramount.
We acknowledge that the most vulnerable people in our community are those who are subject to the gaze of child protection services.
We work with parents to help them understand what it is that they need to change in order to parent more effectively.
We give parents a voice when they are not being heard. We provide a voice for children so that they can have the best connection possible with their biological parents when they are in the care of the government.
Our work is guided and informed by our beliefs and commitment to connection, communication, collaboration and building parenting capacity. We respect people, value diversity and are committed to equality.&nbsp;
Our logo represents family. The circle is the village that surrounds a family and the hearts represent both parent and child always connected and belonging regardless of whether they are living together.
Why the name &lsquo;Reily&rsquo; for the Foundation? The name Reily was chosen as it is a unisex name. &lsquo;Reily&rsquo; represents all children in care and their need for a village to show up for them and put them first.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

The Reily Foundation Inc supports parents navigating the child protection system through education and tools that help to build their parenting capacity and insight in a child focused and trauma informed manner.
