Taboo Topics

Child Neglect, Adoption, and the Foster System with Rachel Burgess


Listen Later

TW for this episode: child neglect, mention of child abuse, adoption, foster care

This episode is OH SO IMPORTANT. Join in on this conversation with myself and the wonderful Rachel Burgess. This episode may be heavy, and I must admit I did not add some of my usual humour, just because the subject matter is sensitive. But this is what Taboo Topics was made for... Please, make the effort to take a listen!

For my non-US friends, some of these programs definitely look different, but I encourage you to listen anyways!!
