WHAT'S COMING UP

Featuring Featuring James Mineau
**Content Warning: This workshop discusses childhood trauma and the foster care system. Some content may be difficult for survivors of childhood trauma or family separation.**
A Childhood on Record, takes audiences beyond the policies, statistics, and case files of the child welfare system and into the lived reality of what happens when a traumatized child is treated as a behavioural child.
Using my own experiences alongside more than a thousand pages of government records documenting my childhood in Saskatchewan’s foster care system, I show how trauma can present through behaviours that are too often labelled as defiance, aggression, manipulation, or simply a “problem child.” I teach audiences how to begin recognizing the critical difference between a child who is deliberately behaving badly and a child whose behaviour may actually be communicating fear, trauma, instability, or an unmet need—and why systems and organizations must learn to recognize those warning signs quickly and act even quicker.
But A Childhood on Record is not simply about what happened to me. It is about what we can learn from what happened and how that knowledge can change the way we respond to children today.
I have transformed my experiences into advocacy, writing, public speaking, and professional advisory work. Through Mineau Advisory Group and A Childhood on Record, I challenge institutional complacency, advocate for people navigating complex systems, and work to strengthen accountability and trauma-informed practice.
My message is ultimately about changing the question we ask when a child is struggling. Instead of asking, “What is wrong with this child?” we need to start asking, “What happened to this child, what is their behaviour trying to tell us, and how quickly are we prepared to act?”
Because when we understand the difference between a behavioural child and a traumatized child, we can change the response—and sometimes, we can change the entire course of a child’s life.

FAQ
1 / What is the difference between the Workshop Pass and Full Membership?
The Annual Workshop Pass is focused purely on our live monthly learning sessions. It is perfect for those who want the teachings without the community commitment. Full Membership is a deeper practice of accountability that includes the Resource Library, Practice Circles, and community-funded initiatives.
2 / How does the sliding scale work for the Annual Pass?
We trust our community to choose the tier that fits their financial situation. The $597 tier helps us subsidize the $197 tier, ensuring that these teachings remain accessible to students, community organizers, and those facing financial barriers.
3 / Does the Annual Pass include the Resource Library?
No. The Pass includes a 30-day replay of each workshop you attend. For unlimited, lifetime access to our archive of past teachings, we invite you to explore Full Membership.
4 / What if I can’t attend live?
A replay is shared by email within one business day. Recordings remain available for 30 days.
5 / Can I bring a colleague or share with my team?
We encourage collective learning. If you're attending as a group or want to explore organizational membership, feel free to reach out—or invite others to register directly.
6 / Is it okay if I’m new to this work?
Yes. You don’t need to have the “right” words or a full understanding to be here. We ask only that you show up with openness, care, and respect for the space.
7 / Will I have to speak or be on camera?
You are never required to speak. Some workshops include breakout rooms or reflection prompts, but participation is always by invitation, not expectation.
