Colby’s Introduction to Episode 2.

Welcome to the Secure Start Podcast. I am Colby Pearce (Clinical Psychologist) and joining me for this episode is a respected former leader in residential and therapeutic foster care in the UK. I say “former”, because he is now retired, and has been for the past ten years. Nevertheless, I could not pass up this opportunity to talk with him and anticipate that listeners will enjoy our conversation too.
