A place to begin.
Something to build on.

A big direction or a small problem. Bring what's on your mind, and we can start working through it together.

What would be useful?

These are ideas to shape together. You don't need a finished brief, or even a fully formed question.

Begin thinking about a path toward jurisdiction over child and family services. Explore your Nation's priorities, questions and who needs to be part of the conversation.

Planning

A useful start, from wherever you are.

You confirm the value. Then I invoice.

As always, I only invoice after you confirm you received value. We agree the workshop price and any travel costs before making plans.

Have something longer or different in mind? We can shape it together.

Where should we meet?

Three sign-ups. A reason to visit.

Choose a travel area and add your interest. When three Nations or organizations are interested, we can start planning a visit together. Purple areas already have a trip planned.

Counts are updated after I confirm interest by email. With three interested Nations or organizations, we can start planning; a visit still depends on locations, timing and travel. A planned trip is shown separately from sign-ups. These are approximate travel areas, not Nation or territory boundaries. Map geography: Natural Earth.

you're thinking.

This is a way to get to know each other and see what could help. A rough idea is plenty to start with.
