Yay Alissa! I will read this with pleasure.
Do you know Deborah Lupton’s work on risk? It’s good, good stuff. And it might be relevant to your enterprise here…
cheers

Thanks Katie – I will check her out. Not familiar with it.
Alyssa: Thanks for the mention of Ometz Parlour groups! Much like your experience, we see hundreds of parents learning from each other, supporting each other and laughing together! I share your interest in building networks for parents.
