In this episode of Caring for Kids, Richard and Naji explore the role of connection, community and support in shaping a young person’s confidence and self-awareness. 

They reflect on how relationships, both formal and informal, can influence identity, belonging and long-term outcomes. 

It’s a conversation about showing up, staying connected and creating environments where young people feel supported enough to grow.
