Safe & Sound CEO Dr. Pegah Faed was delighted to have a chat with Jim Herlihy, Host and Executive Producer of The San Francisco Experience Podcast, which aims to give a succinct, fact based analysis from a California, Silicon Valley perspective, featuring newsmakers, thought leaders and authors as guests.
Pegah and Jim had a wide ranging discussion about Safe & Sound’s work and touched upon our priority activities for the coming years. Pegah explained that prevention is the core of our work and will continue to be our priority going forward, developing a community pathway which can support families with the necessary resources before the need for child welfare involvement.
A key facet to our success is the developed trust with the families we support. As Pegah explained “We are trying to prevent cases of child abuse, neglect, trauma, we are trying to prevent families from being separated in the first place, and so we can only do that by being able to catch families before a challenge and a crisis has occurred and built trust with them, give them the knowledge, skills and behaviours to make the change.”
