What can you do to be the one who Opens the Door
Some of us lived it.
Some of us witnessed it.
And some of us are ready to be the one who opens the door.
If you believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, and that restrictive practices should never be hidden behind institutional silence, then this is your call. You can take action now to raise awareness, demand change, and stand with those whose voices have been ignored for too long

Post on Social Media
I’m standing with the But the Door Remains Closed campaign to call for a national standard for behaviour support and to end harmful restrictive practices across schools, hospitals, prisons, and community settings.
Because silence allows harm to continue.
It’s time to open the door.
