    In episode 90 of SWM, I talk with Andrez Harriott, the Founder and CEO of The Liminality Group. TLG's primary task is to prevent and reduce offending among children and young adults aged 10-15. They support health and well-being services within secure estates by delivering integrated models of care to children remanded or sentenced through bespoke psychologically informed programmes. TLG also provides training and leadership consultancy to organisations and professionals across health, justice, DClinPsych courses, and the third and private sectors.

    We discuss TLG's work, how the organisation's name came about, how his course with Tavistock & Portman further informed TLG's work with young people and organisations, collaborative work with other agencies, the relational nature of their approach to work with vulnerable young people and lots more.

    In today’s episode, I'm in conversation with the passionate and extraordinary Meave Darroux, founder and CEO of Brilliant Parents. Brilliant Parents run parenting classes supporting families across the capital and beyond. Their work also specialises in programmes for children in their early years and young people. BP supports families by introducing new parenting techniques to help them deal with challenging behaviour in their children, from toddler to teenager. Early intervention in the lives of families aims not only to help parents but also to transform the confidence and well-being of the child. Supporting parents by helping them cope with their own emotions and those of their child also has crucial long-term benefits and creates happier, more confident parents
