Bridging the Implementation Gap

​In multidisciplinary child protection, we often assume that once the cooperation protocol is signed and the doors open, collaboration will take care of itself. In practice, there is a fundamental difference between "having a thing" on paper and "doing a thing" on the frontline.

​In this session, Astrid Helling-Bakki—who has guided the strategic development and scale-up of multiple Childhood-Häuser (Barnahus) across Germany—joins us to pull back the curtain on the actual developmental trajectory of multidisciplinary collaboration.

​Thought our discussion we walk through the predictable milestones, tensions, and breakthroughs every team will likely navigate:

• ​3-Phase Reality Arc

• ​"Professional Learning Paradox"

• ​Early Resistance to Peer Learning

• ​Implicit Growth & Mirroring Progress

• ​Managing Turnover vs. Baseline Stability

​Whether your team is drafting its first MOU or struggling to get partner agencies out of their silos, this session offers an honest, grounded map of what real implementation looks like.
