Hope Has a Home

Talking to kids and teens about racism is hard, but it’s also necessary as kids grow up. It is clear that many youth are feeling scared, confused and angry about what’s going on in our world and nation. On this episode we will talk about ways we are addressing racism with our youth at the Children’s Home. We hope our discussion will give parents some ideas on ways to address racism with their own teens and perhaps things we shouldn’t do or say in the process.

In this introductory episode of Hope Has A Home we are providing some background into the Indiana Methodist Children's Home.  Did you know that Indiana has the second-highest child abuse rate in the nation? More than twenty-eight thousand children are abused each year in our state. We believe Indiana's children deserve more and this show is created to spread hope.  Learn more about our mission and how too can spread hope for Indiana's children.  After You Listen: If you’d like to learn more or to donate and partner with us in our mission, head on over to our website at iumch.org.
