Lucy's Adventures with the Winston Churchill Trust: Los Angeles over and out. Here come the Canadians...

Casualties of Divorce - Helping the Children of Broken Families

Project Summary:

This project aims to look at the comparative experience of divorce across jurisdictions and appraise the help available to mitigate and minimise the trauma many children experience when parents divorce in different countries. The primary goal of this study is to draw inspiration from successful support facilities available to children from different countries in order to provide benefits to

children who are suffering in the UK, hopefully encouraging the UK authorities to do more to safeguard children from the psychological and social harm which can be caused by fragmentation of the family unit.

Places I will be visiting:

Sydney, Australia

Los Angeles, USA

Toronto, Canada

Vancouver, Canada

New York, USA

Florida, USA

Los Angeles over and out. Here come the Canadians...

Dear Blogglets,

Just a little update before the Canadian leg of the journey!- It is SO0000 hot here: it is terribly uncomfortable in a suit in this climate- however they cope on a daily basis is beyond me! Pheeeeew! Everything progressing nicely here - lots of unexpected contacts which have worked out splendidly in terms of meetings and exposure to the real system of family liaison here in LA. Shall post with more info when I have a little more time xx
