Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on.

It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Some of the worst kinds of abuse happen right in front of us—often hidden behind love, care, and even medicine. In this episode, Jill sits down with returning guest Andrea Dunlop and her co-author and colleague Mike Weber to talk about their book, The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy. Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) is a disturbing form of medical child abuse, which we have covered on the podcast before, where a caregiver—usually a mother—makes a child sick or pretends they are, all for attention and sympathy. Andrea, a podcast host and expert on MBP, and Mike, a seasoned law enforcement officer with years of experience in child abuse cases, highlighted what they've learned from investigating these heartbreaking stories. They explain why these cases are so hard to catch, the legal system's challenges in prosecuting perpetrators, and the chilling similarities between MBP and child sexual abuse. And make sure to stick around until the end of the episode, where Jill and Emily wrap up with a debrief about the emotional toll of confronting such tough realities. Listen and Learn: The shocking truth of Munchausen by Proxy and its hidden dynamics The similarities between Munchausen by Proxy and child sexual abuse and the deep manipulation at play How skilled manipulators exploit medical systems and doctors' blind spots to hide abuse. Why even law enforcement, judges, and doctors might fail to recognize this devastating abuse Why are false accusations often believed more than the reality of underreported child abuse cases? Why is it so hard to accept that abuse can happen in 'good' families, and how can we spot it?

Many of us avoid talking about suicide, not only because it's a difficult conversation, but also because we don't know how to. And avoiding that conversation can be a barrier to helping those most at risk. One family from Colorado is at the forefront of changing the stigma and creating opportunities for fearless conversations. They courageously shared their story in a powerful documentary released earlier this year called “My Sister Liv.” In this special episode, we honor Liv Kunik's life and learn about how her story is spurring hundreds of courageous discussions around suicide. The guests for this episode are family members at the heart and soul of the documentary, as well as mental health advocates. Honey Beuf is Liv's mom, and she is the co-founder and Executive Director of The Liv Project. Tess Kunik is Liv's sister and the co-founder of The Liv Project. Her voice also narrates the film, taking us through Liv's story. Jessica Hawks, PhD, is the Clinical Director of the Pediatric Mental Health Institute at Children's Hospital Colorado and a child and adolescent psychologist. She is also an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include: An overview of how the “My Sister Liv” documentary came together and the impact it's having in the community Ways for friends, family and providers to have “fearless conversations” A discussion of how providers can best care for suicidal patients and their families, such as asking direct questions A look at advocacy efforts underway and tools created to support courageous conversations A youth suicide prevention resource from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention providers can use in their daily practice Visit The Liv Project website to learn more about their work, how you can access the film and details about the game mentioned in the episode, The Game that Goes There.

Rob and Vinnie reflect on the Hamas terror attack of Oct 7, 2023, and Israel's devastating response on Gaza beginning Oct 8, 2023. They lament and grieve the suffering that everyone has experienced. They also discuss how to have conversations aimed at peacemaking in the church. Such conversations are especially difficult when many Christians believe that Israel is God's chosen people and, therefore, they can do no wrong.

The Tom Ficklin Show (Earl Bloodworth): Courageous Conversations in the Community by WNHH Community Radio
We're revisiting one of our favorites this week as Reverend Ronnie Galvin discusses the importance of community and how it is not a physical place but a set of practices. He shares his journey through social change and community building, and highlights the role of community in fostering justice, equity, and sustainability.Community, says our guest this week, is not a place. It's a practice. It is a practice of authenticity, vulnerability, mutual support, and accountability in creating meaningful connections between each and every one of us. And he should know. He's dedicated his life and career to helping others challenge assumptions and daring to dream of a new future together. We welcome Rev. Ronnie Galvin to the show this week to share his journey through social change and community building. He's an incredible advocate and change agent, and, in spite of the challenges and strife he sees around us today, he's also an optimist: "I fundamentally believe that our capacity to solve the biggest problems in front of us is directly related to the experience and the practice of community that we engage in with each other in a world where it feels like everything is falling apart." His current enterprise, Communivation, is an embodiment of his passion for aiding people, organizations, and movements to convene and generate transformative ideas for community experience and practice. Despite the despair and angst felt in these challenging times, Galvin expresses his firm belief in the power of community to solve the biggest problems faced by society and "to interrogate our current reality fiercely and lovingly, but also dream about and reimagine and practice the future that we want together." The conversation is a powerful reminder of the role of community in fostering justice, equity, and sustainability. Thank you, Reverend Galvin, for joining us on Mission Forward.
