About Linkpoint
The Full Story
"When a child feels safe and connected, they can learn. Without that foundation, nothing else sticks."
– Dr. Bruce Perry
At LinkPoint Family Connections, safety is foundational, and careful observation fulfils an important role, but it is genuine connection that transforms a child’s life. Grounded in evidence-based practice, our trauma-informed professionals understand that a sense of safety and trust develops through small, consistent interactions. The kind that quietly support a child’s sense of self and belonging.
We ensure both safety and connection through:
-
Emotional Safety: A stable, low-stress environment.
-
Clear Boundaries: Safe, pressure-free interactions.
-
Guided Engagement: Child-focused bonding.
-
Professional Support: Modelling respect and positivity.
Research shows that strong, supportive relationships help children feel secure and develop resilience. Every positive interaction builds trust, belonging, and confidence. We create opportunities for meaningful connections and conversations that foster growth and lasting change when beneficial.
"When we strengthen connections, we strengthen lives."
– Dr. Brené Brown
Whether it's a short-term visit or a longer journey, we’re here to help create moments that matter.
