To Trouble the Comfortable and Comfort the Troubled: Championing the Voices of FamiliesA Conversation with Progressive Legal Advocate Vivek Sankaran.Hosted by Kendall MarloweThis past Child Abuse Prevention Month we were inspired to have a conversation with this community to rethink the roles that support children and families. We discussed what real help might look like for families; we worked to identify opportunities where each of us could step up to promote prevention regardless of our disciplines every day all year. We know this is a 12-month problem, and we want to make it a 12-month conversation. So, to continue the discussion, we have launched a podcast to bring you relevant topics that you can listen to on your own time that you do not want to miss! In this first episode of Radio Kempe, join us as we have a conversation with Vivek Sankaran, Clinical Professor of Law at The University of Michigan Law School and a leading advocate for child welfare reform. Listen to his experience developing a new approach to helping families that focuses on preventative interventions instead of reactions. What if lawyers could intervene before a separation is made? What does it mean to be a champion for the voices of those who are in the system? What could cases look like if families had the opportunity to assert their rights? Accept the call to be bold and listen now to learn more! Get curious, tune in, and join us on the journey to prevent child abuse and neglect every month of the year!Is there a story you would like to hear from Radio Kempe?

Lauren McCarthy, PhD, LCSW shares a brief history of working with youth and families in Philadelphia and how that inspired her to learn more about increasing mental health care access equity. She identifies that we could provide all foster and kinship care providers with the same specialized training that therapeutic foster parents receive to improve placement stability for youth in out-of-home care. Lauren wraps up the conversation by talking about the many challenges that caregivers experience when navigating the mental health care system, particularly when youth enter acute crisis settings and the benefits of investing in better access to early mental health care.
A Conversation with Amnoni (pronounced Ah-mon-knee) MyersIn this special three-part series, Where the Light Beams, Kempe's Virtual Village is excited to bring you two Radio Kempe podcast episodes followed by an interactive virtual Café on September, 23rd at 10 AM (Mountain Time). Join us throughout the month as we introduce you to Amnoni Myers, an advocate for elevating the voice of those with lived experience in child welfare. In the last podcast episode of Where the Light Beams, Kempe's Virtual Village introduced you to Amnoni and her journey as she transitioned from the foster care system to a career inspired by her experiences advocating for children. Join us for this second episode and be inspired by her call to action to act from a place of dignity and respect by actively listening to young people's voices and utilizing their individual experiences to fuel change in the child welfare system. We know that there is no one path to success for children. Amnoni calls us to meet young people where they are to determine the actions that are right for them. What if we acknowledged that we do not have all of the answers? What if we decided that the people we are trying to save have the ability to save themselves? What would it look like to co-create with these communities, and how would this perspective help us serve with dignity and respect? Tune in to be inspired by these provocative questions, and then join us on September 23rd, when we will convene to put these questions to the child welfare community to co-create and reimagine a better child welfare together. Get curious, tune in, and join us on the journey to prevent child abuse and neglect every month of the year!Is there a story you would like to hear from Radio Kempe?

Join us throughout the month as we introduce you to Amnoni Myers, an advocate for elevating the voice of those with lived experience in child welfare. In this first Radio Kempe podcast episode, we will discover Amnoni's journey through the foster care system from the beginning of her life as a ward of the state through her transition from kinship care to foster care. We will discuss the long-term impact of her separation from her siblings and how she fought to overcome personal hurdles caused by exposure to secondary substance abuse. Follow us on this journey that inspired her to advocate for all children to have a voice by pursuing reform in child welfare first academically and then as a White House intern under the Obama administration. Experience her realization that she, and all children like her, are the prize! Be inspired by that experience to fuel a lasting change for all children. As professionals, we talk about trauma and how it connects to behavior. However, we do not always have the chance to reflect and understand from the child's perspective. Listen now to learn more! We will shed light on the numerous sources of trauma inflicted by the separation of children from families and the resulting developmental impact that is not uncommon for many children placed in the foster care system, and we will question our assumptions of what it means for a child to be "successful." Get curious, tune in, and join us on the journey to prevent child abuse and neglect every month of the year!Is there a story you would like to hear from Radio Kempe?
