The Informed Perspective

On our latest episode of Perspectives, Dr Catherine Knibbs and Kristi McVee talk about the conversations that help keep kids safer, and why so many of us may be struggling to have them.

What if the way we have always done things with young people is exactly the problem?

Not the intention. The approach.

We heard this week from three young people across the UK, the US and Poland, and what they said was honest, clear and a little uncomfortable for those of us on the adult side of the table.

They do not lack experience. They just have a different one. And they are tired of being the subjects of conversations they are not actually part of.

But when the connection is real, when adults show up with curiosity rather than answers, something remarkable happens. Both sides come away richer for it.

We are not short of awareness. We are short of time and attention, the kind that lets something real happen between people. 🎙️

In our latest episode on youth mental health, Rachel and Vicki reminded us that the most powerful thing we can offer a young person is not a programme or a policy. It is presence. Space. And the willingness to sit with them long enough for something real to emerge.

Because when we show compassion to others, something shifts in us too. When we give people the space and the opportunity to share, they do. And something so personal can become a shared experience for someone else entirely.

That is the whole point of this conversation. And it is the whole point of what we do at The Informed Perspective.
