When Jena was first getting started, there were no online education programs specifically for SLP and OTs going into private practice, so she created the programs she wished she had. Jena has been invited to speak at local and national ASHA conferences; she's spoken on the topics of starting and growing private practices, marketing, and entrepreneurship. You can hear Jena every week as the host of the Private Practice Success Stories podcast, and you can hang out with her on all social media platforms. Jena lives in Newton, Massachusetts, with her wife, Sarah, and their two sons, Hayes and Holden. Get in touch with Jena: Website: https://www.IndependentClinician.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/independentClinician Podcast: Private Practice Success Stories: https://independentclinician.com/podcast-blog/ Freebie: Private Practice Roadmap www.startyourprivatepractice.com/freebie Purchase: The Path to Private Practice by Jena Castro-Casbon: https://amzn.to/4c5bivs Disclaimer: Delightful reads are recommended here with potential affiliate links.

How Can the Young Generation of Black SLPs Uplift Each Other in Our Profession? It's true that Black SLPs are underrepresented in our field. The good news is more of us are joining the profession and making necessary changes! This has been a slow and steady process. Here are some major points from IG Live discussion with Jordyn:

In this episode I share my journey and reasons for joining the field of speech pathology. We also explore the role of speech-language pathologists in advocating for children of color in the United States education system. Here are some key takeaways from this episode: I initially pursued a degree in broadcast journalism but shifted my focus to organizational communications with a minor in speech pathology. Through various initiatives, I became aware of the disparities experienced by Black and Latinx children in the United States education system, including exclusionary discipline practices that lead to the school-to-prison pipeline. This realization led me to discover the role of speech-language pathologists in advocating for these children and supporting their academic and behavioral success. My passion for communication and advocacy came together, and I knew that becoming a speech-language pathologist was the path I needed to take. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by the Pediatric Speech Sister Network© on YouTube Live.

As SLPs, we work with a diverse range of children, including those who have experienced trauma. Child sexual abuse is a particularly devastating form of trauma that affects children across all racial and ethnic backgrounds. However, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) children are disproportionately affected by child sexual assault and are less likely to receive the support they need. In this episode, I review a case study of a speech-language pathologists who fulfills her ethical responsibility in a sexual assault case as it effects the child's speech and language development. Listen in! Sexual Assault Disclaimer: If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual assault, know that you are not alone. There are resources and support available to you. The National Sexual Assault Hotline is available 24/7 and can provide confidential support and information. The number is 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). Additionally, local resources such as counseling services, victim advocacy centers, and healthcare providers can also provide support. We encourage you to seek help and support if you need it. Thank you for listening, and I hope that this episode has provided some valuable insights on addressing child sexual assault in BIPOC communities as an SLP.
