Hi Sandra,
I appreciated your proactive approach to plan a project that scans through mapping funding avenues and opportunities. Visibility is so valuable for making connections- specifically if connections through funding promote networks. Having networks increases the way connections and communication channels expand and grow. In Australia, there are unregulated community spaces to help people on bail re engage with society but they lack resources, specialists and care systems. Landscape scan of existing and possible future updates to address geographically determined ‘hotspots’ would help build capability in individuals and greater awareness of issues that ACEs datasets and foundation knowledge can bridge. There are many people in places doing empowering work are are working in a myriad of settings. How to bring the key professionals and or resilience in community wisdom together in a meaningful way is a timely project.
The resources available and the demand for need will be more evident as a landscape of opportunity matches stakeholders and highlights methods for engagement.
Keep well, go strongly in your pursuits and project.
Kind regards,
Ann-Maree
