The Future of Support Continued with Kristen Genovese (Part 2)
Manage episode 474574786 series 3557656
This episode is the second part of a series discussing the intersection of mental health and the opioid crisis, particularly its impact on youth and families. If you haven't heard part one, I strongly encourage you to do that!
We continue our examination of the topic with Kristen Genovese, CEO of Not My Kid, a nonprofit organization based in Arizona. We explore the lack of support from schools for children dealing with critical health conditions, the mental health crisis in Arizona, and the challenges schools face due to high student-to-social worker ratios.
At the heart of the tie in between the great work they do and who I reach with this podcast is the considerable value of a resource like this to parents in the workplace. I dive into the natural fit that provides struggling parents with resources that create a value within an organization that is viewed by employees as one that truly cares. It's time to take a harder look at the role of employers in supporting parents through corporate wellness programs.
We have such a strong need for community and corporate involvement to address these issues and we'll provides insights into how Not My Kid is striving to support families on a broader scale.
Thank you sincerely for listening.
