Take time to chat with them and think about things that might be different in their lives.

If you’ve noticed changes with your loved one, and Daphne also talks about a groundbreaking national organization with a Washington chapter that can help people those types of situations, the National Placement and Referral Alliance at NPRalliance.org, a group that is elevating the placement industry with ethics and best practices nationwide.
