Podcasts about community partners

Yinz Are Good shares the good stuff, the good news, going on out there and celebrates all the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make our world a better place?”.We've got one very busy docket today…It's Tressa here. I had one of the best days a couple of weeks ago - a day that, as I look back on it, perfectly represented the city of Pittsburgh: it involved community nonprofits, sports, and the arts. First, I had the honor of attending the Pittsburgh Steelers' Annual Community Partners Appreciation Breakfast - where they invite nonprofits, civic leaders, and local partners together to recognize their collective impact. There were many familiar Yinz Are Good  faces there: like Marisa Escajeda from Girls, Inc.; Pastor Tim/Tim Smith from Center of Life; the folks from LaRosa Youth Club; Charlie Batch from - of course - the Best of the Batch Foundation… And then, I crossed the Allegheny River to meet with the President & CEO of The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, Kendra Whitlock Ingram, at Arts Landing - their new & gorgeous outdoor civic space. So coming up first for yinz is my chat with Kendra, then we'll head over to the Steelers breakfast, where you'll hear from current Steelers Outside Linebacker Alex Highsmith, the Steelers' Senior Director of Community Relations, Blayre Holmes Davis, and then two of their community partners: AJ Jefferson from the Homeless Children's Education Fund and Charlotte Heyward-Wesley from The Heyward House.Highlights of this episode are featured on Matters.com — our show sponsor and where the world goes for what matters.

In this episode of The Care Ministry Podcast, Laura Howe and Rebecca Bailey explore one of the most misunderstood areas of care ministry: referrals. Church leaders often feel tension when referring someone outside the church. It can feel like handing people off or losing influence. But healthy referrals are not a failure of care. They are a critical part of sustainable, holistic ministry. Laura and Rebecca reframe referrals as accompaniment rather than outsourcing. They discuss how churches can build ethical referral systems, develop trusted community partnerships, and avoid codependency in ministry leadership. You will hear practical guidance on consent, autonomy, follow-up, and how to navigate value differences with humility. Strong care ministries do not try to meet every need alone. They build thoughtful networks that expand support while remaining relationally present. Quotes “We don't want codependency in the church… because we aren't the saviors.” –Rebecca Bailey “We're not referring someone out. We're referring someone in.” –Laura Howe “Referrals don't have to be an endpoint. They are transitional.” –Rebecca Bailey “Healthy care ministries share the load.” –Laura Howe Resources Hope Made Strong Model of Care Three Steps to Building a Sustainable Care Ministry Care Protocol Download Episode 187 - Types of Mental Health Professionals HMS Amazon Store

At the Central Oklahoma Cattle Conference, we visit with Jennifer Patterson, Payne County Extension ag educator, about how local agricultural programming comes together and why it still matters for Oklahoma producers. From cattle markets and forage fertility to weed control and producer education, Jennifer explains how Extension listens first, then builds programs around the issues producers are actually facing. This episode also offers a closer look at the day-to-day reality of county Extension work. Jennifer talks about moving from Adair and Sequoyah counties to Payne County, learning a new region, working across diverse audiences, and helping connect rural communities to research-based answers. It is a conversation about service, problem-solving, and the people helping keep agriculture informed and connected. Top 10 takeaways Extension succeeds by listening first. Jennifer makes clear that the best programs start with the real questions producers are already asking. Local conferences still matter. The Central Oklahoma Cattle Conference works because it gives producers face-to-face access to timely, practical information. County Extension work is highly local. Even within Oklahoma, the needs in Payne County differ from those in Adair and Sequoyah counties. Producer concerns drive programming. Topics like cattle markets, forage quality, fertility, and weed control shaped this event because they are the issues producers are dealing with now. Extension serves more than one audience. In Payne County, educators may help cow-calf producers, stocker operators, homesteaders, gardeners, and commercial horticulture clients all in the same week. Relationships are a major part of Extension. Whether it is with producers, community partners, or state specialists, trust helps turn questions into solutions. Hands-on programs have lasting value. Jennifer's enthusiasm for pasture tours and the Hoof to Hook program shows how effective experiential learning can be. Youth livestock education can go beyond showing. The feedout program connects young people to cattle production, carcass outcomes, and management decisions from start to finish. Extension careers are rewarding but unpredictable. Jennifer describes the work as diverse, meaningful, and never the same two days in a row. Extension is still underused in many communities. One of the strongest themes in the episode is that many people do not fully realize how much help is available through their county office. Detailed Timestamped Rundown 00:03–00:58 Dave opens Episode 512 and introduces the conversation from the Central Oklahoma Cattle Conference, emphasizing Extension's role in helping producers navigate real-world agricultural challenges.00:58–01:31 The team introduces the show and transitions into the live conversation recorded February 13, 2026, in Stillwater.01:31–02:15 Jennifer Patterson joins the podcast and is introduced as the organizer of the conference and Payne County Extension ag educator.02:16–03:10 Jennifer explains that she has been in Payne County about a year and a half and describes the conference as a regional, multi-county event designed around current producer concerns.03:12–04:18 The group discusses the speaker lineup, including the range of topics covered and the importance of making educational sessions approachable and interactive.04:18–06:11 Jennifer highlights the value of speakers like Derrell Peel and Megan Roth, especially with ongoing interest in cattle markets, herd rebuilding, and bull selection.06:12–08:11 Brian asks Jennifer about moving from Adair and Sequoyah counties to Payne County. She explains differences in rainfall, forage systems, native grasses, weed pressure, and local production conditions.08:11–09:23 Jennifer reflects on the pace of the Payne County office and the strong local engagement she has seen from producers and community members.09:23–10:59 The discussion turns to public awareness of Extension. Jennifer explains that many people still do not fully understand what Extension offers beyond 4-H.10:59–12:23 Josh and Brian talk about the unique mix of audiences in Payne County, where rural agricultural issues overlap with homeowner and horticulture questions in Stillwater.12:23–15:18 Jennifer describes how educators often work together across agriculture, horticulture, and homesteading topics because clientele frequently have questions that cross categories.15:19–17:12 The group discusses the need to know your audience. Jennifer explains that successful Extension programming depends on adapting the message to the people in the room.17:12–20:08 Josh raises the idea that Payne County might be viewed differently because it is home to the university. Jennifer says some local clients already know campus specialists, which can be helpful but also intimidating.20:08–22:17 Jennifer talks about future programming, including pasture tours, outdoor educational opportunities, pesticide meetings, and possible sheep and goat field days.22:17–24:32 She describes the Hoof to Hook youth steer feedout program, explaining how it walks students and families through feeding, management, education, and carcass evaluation.24:32–25:08 Dave highlights the long-term value of that experience for young cattle producers and the way it connects management decisions to carcass outcomes.25:08–26:22 Brian asks about the most common questions Jennifer gets in the office. She points to weed identification, weed control, forage analysis, and declining warm-season forage performance.26:22–27:42 Dave asks how conference topics are selected. Jennifer says program planning comes from producer conversations, monthly reporting, neighboring county collaboration, and local partner input.27:42–30:19 Josh asks how to get young people interested in Extension careers. Jennifer says the variety, freedom, and service-oriented nature of the work make it rewarding and unique.30:19–32:22 The group discusses the challenge of Extension's unpredictable workload. Jennifer explains how mentors and stronger communication networks helped her adapt to the pace of the job.32:22–33:43 Brian asks how state specialists can better connect with county educators. Jennifer says approachability and relationship-building matter so county staff feel comfortable reaching out.33:43–End The episode wraps with thanks to Jennifer Patterson and a reminder to visit the Red Dirt Agronomy website for more information and resources.

In this conversation, host Julie DeNofa sits down with Kathy Posey, Paige Butler, and Kim Robbins, three inspiring women serving on the Montgomery County Overdose Prevention Endeavor Board (M-COPE) Kathy and Kim, Co-Founders of M-COPE, share their personal stories of losing a child to addiction and how, after four moms met through the GRASP grief group ( Grief Recovery After Substance Passing) after losing their children to accidental overdose, they realized the need for spreading awareness around the disease of addiction.  Paige also shares her journey through a different perspective of loving a child who is now in recovery from substance use disorder. With their stories, Kathy, Paige, and Kim are now turning their pain into purpose in helping other families heal.  The mission at M-COPE is to collaborate with individuals, communities, schools, and organizations to raise awareness about substance use disorder and the alarming rise in overdose and drug-related deaths in Montgomery County and surrounding areas. Their efforts are grounded in four key pillars: education, awareness, prevention, and remembrance.   Through this approach, they shine a light on the growing drug crisis, work to end the stigma surrounding substance use, and advocate for those currently in need of support as well as for those who can no longer speak for themselves.  Topics Discussed: Advice for parents and families learning to navigate grief after overdose loss The importance of remembering loved ones beyond their addiction Recognizing that everyone grieves differently and giving others more grace Understanding emotional triggers and grief waves after loss Why volunteer-driven organizations play a critical role in community recovery How overdose awareness and prevention efforts are helping communities — CHAPTERS:  00:00 Purpose From Pain - Introduction to MCOPE 03:33 Meet Kathy Posey, Kim Robbins, and Paige Bulter 08:04 What M-Cope is and the Four Pillars: Awareness, Prevention, Education, and Rememberance 11:06 Volunteering, Community Partners, and Supporting Newly Bereaved 15:39 Grief Advice For Families: Connection, Caregiving, Healing, and Support  23:10 Recognizing Grief Waves and Triggers and Finding Joy Again 28:47 Honoring Loved Ones Who Lost Their Lives to Addiction 30:39 The Hope of Recovery  33:52 M-COPE Outreach through Blessing Bags, Narcan Outreach, Scholarships And Community Impact 39:11 Recovery Community Resources — Connect with M-Cope online:  Website: https://mcope.org/  Scholarship: https://mcope.org/scholarship/  Volunteer Opportunities: https://mcope.org/support/#volunteer  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mocope/?ref=share&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=SDyLMs2NFChqDsne&share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2Fg%2F1DCtwm4WSp%2F%3Fmibextid%3DwwXIfr — Connect with PRC on Social: IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters  TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg Want even more expert insights and support on the recovery journey?

Compliance work is uniquely heavy by nature, and burnout is inevitable without sustainable practices. Every compliance team can have balance by creating a better rhythm. In this episode of The Law and Education Podcast, we are discussing some lessons we learned from the recent ICS retreat. Tuning in, you'll hear all about the importance of finding a good rhythm for your compliance team, the power of restoration, real work, and fun, and why all three need to exist within a team, and so much more! We delve into what causes burnout before discussing the importance of sustainable compliance practices. Our host even breaks down three simple 'retreat' ideas that are cost-effective and short, and will have the same impact as our retreat did. Finally, you'll be challenged to find one thing to implement for your team that can create more balance. Thanks for listening!    Key Points From This Episode: Today's topic: a recap of the recent ICS retreat. The importance of finding balance within compliance teams. Why your compliance team needs rhythm. Three elements of a successful retreat: restoration, real work, and fun. Why restoration is protective for compliance workers. How doing hard, structural work reduces the weight of burnout. The power of fun as a tool for building trust within teams. Why burnout isn't always about workload and what sustainable compliance is. A breakdown of simple, budget-friendly, and short 'retreat' ideas.   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: ICS Lawyer Higher Ed Community Access K-12 Community Access Higher Ed Virtual Certified IX Training K-12 Virtual Certified Title IX Training ICS Blog Courtney Bullard on X  Learn about Becoming a Community Partner

The year 2025 was a reset, not a pause. There are some narratives floating around that 2025 was a slowdown year for civil rights enforcement, but that narrative is wrong. What 2025 actually showed is that enforcement didn't retreat; it restructured. During this episode, we explore the priorities that defined 2025, the decentralization of civil rights enforcement, and what this meant for compliance over the past year. We also dive into the five enforcement realities that emerged and the implications of each of these for the future. The real compliance question for 2026 isn't whether you have policies and procedures; it's whether your compliance house is in order. In 2025, siloed compliance models broke down. Join us as we discuss the impact of this, what centralization truly means, and what to ensure you have on your risk radar as we enter a new year. Key Points From This Episode: A new community partner benefit that ICS is rolling out in 2026. The restructuring that defined 2025 in civil rights compliance.  Which priorities led enforcement politics over the past year.  Understanding that civil rights enforcement is no longer centralized and the implications of this.  The five enforcement realities that became impossible to ignore over the past year.  Assessing whether or not your compliance house is in order. Why siloed compliance models broke down in 2025 and what this means for the future. What centralization actually means for us.  Elements to keep on your risk radar in 2026.  Topics included in the first ICS webinar of the year.  Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Register for the 2025 Year-End Compliance Review Webinar Steven Richard on LinkedIn ICS Higher Ed Community Access K-12 Community Access Higher Ed Virtual Certified IX Training K-12 Virtual Certified Title IX Training ICS Blog Courtney Bullard on X  Learn about Becoming a Community Partner

This year has been unlike any other in the compliance world. Across every school district and institution that we support, we have seen the same pattern emerge: expectations rising and responsibilities expanding, and the compliance landscape shifting faster than ever before under this new administration. At ICS, we've tried to offer some real clarity and practical pathways forward to help you stay ahead over the course of the year. During this episode, we unpack the newly released Title IX Student Bystander Training. The goal of this training is to equip students with real skills and to help schools build safer communities from the ground up. Joining us to discuss this topic is Betsy Smith, our Chief Innovation Officer, who led the development of this training. She walks us through what the training covers, why it matters, how to implement the training on the ground, and how schools can bring it to life at their district or school. We're always looking for change in small and big ways, and we are so grateful to be a part of this training.
