Let's talk about something close to our hearts: the well-being of our families. 💕 Did you know that “children living with both biological parents are 20 to 35 percent more physically healthy than children from broken homes?” (40 Facts about Two-Parent Families | Studies and Statistics, 2016)  It's a powerful reminder of the impact strong family bonds can have on our loved ones' lives. At The Corliss Family Foundation, we're deeply passionate about supporting individuals, organizations, and movements that support the health and unity of traditional families. In a world where life's challenges can sometimes pull us apart, it's vital to stand together and provide the love and support our families need. Together, we can create a world where families are strengthened, and our children have the best chance to thrive. 

❗ Access to education, mental health challenges and the trauma of living in conflict zones are just some of the issues affecting children as we step into 2024! A key part of our mission is to educate businesses on the importance of protecting children's rights, and understanding the changing landscape is essential to reminding businesses about their profound responsibility to proceed with care and consideration given their significant influence.

Imagine you disagree with, say, a flatmate – over something like, I dunno, where they store their prized novelty mug collection. In response, you scream, hurl abuse at them and threaten to smash said prized novelty mug collection. Probably not the best way to resolve the issue, right? Probably not going to get your flatmate to listen to your perspective. Probably not going to make your home a very nice place to live. It’s the same with councils. Except councils aren’t concerned about novelty mugs (important though they are). They’re doing their best to make your community a great place to live. You might disagree with how they do it, but that doesn't mean you need to behave like a toddler throwing a tantrum in aisle three. Instead, try and approach how you would do your flatmate: have a chat, try and understand their perspective, and maybe offer a few suggestions of your own. Definitely don’t abuse them, unless you want a surefire route to not be listened to or taken seriously.
