"Having benefited from CalmFamily workshops when a new parent I am really excited to be on the journey to joining as a consultant myself now. The live online training was very informative and it was wonderful to be able to talk with a group of like minded people." Clare Nov 2021
"It's easier to be a parent this morning ... to tell your kids character matters". We agree. We are delighted to congratulate Joe Biden and even more so Kamala Harris, the first ever woman, and first ever person of colour to be elected to be Vice President. #equality #biden2020
In 2016 CNN's Van Jones responded to Trump's win by asking "how do I explain this to my children?" Trying his hardest to hold back tears, here's how he responded today when Joe Biden's win was announced.

Sometimes we feel we can’t do much by ourselves, but humanity is made up of individuals; we can make a difference. As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can shape our communities and our communities form our nations. Together we can make a better world.

Time’s always moving on. Nothing can stop it. The question is whether we use our time well or not. We can't do anything about the past, but what happens in the future depends on what we do now. We can create a happier future by remembering that in being human we are all the same.

I believe that if we make an effort to develop peace of mind within ourselves and cultivate a proper appreciation of the oneness of humanity, we can create a happier, more peaceful world. What we need is common sense—the positive use of intelligence—and warm-heartedness.
