The discussion features guests Karla Steckler Tye, CEO of Children's Advocacy Centers of Mississippi, and DiDi Ellis, CEO of Kids Hub Child Advocacy Center. Today, they share their combined 25 years of experience and innovative approaches in addressing workforce turnover and highlight Mississippi's pioneering efforts to implement Child Advocacy Studies (CAST), a program designed to prepare the next generation of professionals through interdisciplinary training and experiential learning.  The discussion emphasizes the challenges that turnover creates, especially in rural areas like Mississippi, where the loss of a key staff member can disrupt services for children in need. Both Karla and DiDi explain how CAST helps fill these gaps by ensuring that students entering the CAC field are better prepared and equipped with the skills necessary to provide comprehensive care. They also share personal anecdotes, including how CAST has transformed student interns into long-term hires, effectively reducing turnover and enhancing the quality of care. We'll also hear from a graduate of CAST who did her internship at a CAC and what she found so valuable about her experience.  The episode offers a deep dive into how intentional recruitment, training, and strategic planning are essential to sustaining the CAC workforce for the future.

In this episode, Lori Poland is joined by Alli Meyerhardt, the founder and executive director of Breaking Silence, a national organization designed to give a voice to survivors of abuse. As a survivor herself, Alli knew that the story many had to share would pave the way to ending sexual assault and domestic violence. She followed this vision and began a nonprofit that focuses on teaching people about the consequences of sexual assault, ways in which they can prevent it, and the realities of consent.  The Louder than Silence podcast is brought to you by the National Foundation to End Child Abuse and Neglect (EndCAN): www.endcan.org Takeaways: We need to believe in the power of people's stories and to teach people to accept those stories and create safe spaces. Stories need to be felt with love and kindness rather than saying, “we don't talk about it.” “I believe you, I hear you, I am so sorry that happened to you,” should be the response to anyone who shares their story.  Everyone needs to humanize people's stories and learn to feel it. The goal of Breaking Silence and the work they do is to create a world full of advocates. The definition of "safe" is different for every person.  We need to be protectors of all. It is not easy to get someone curious when they don't want to talk about “it.” It is not always your responsibility to change someone else's mind, but compassionate listening is necessary. If you are open to hearing, then go and listen.  Become a learner.  There is someone in your life who has been impacted by violence.  Quote of the Show: “A universal truth is we all feel pain. We are all human.”  Links: Breaking Silence - www.breakingsilence.org 

In this episode, Lori Poland is once again joined by fellow survivor, Jon Vaughn.  To change things up, Jon interviews Lori about her experiences as a survivor. The Louder than Silence podcast is brought to you by the National Foundation to End Child Abuse and Neglect (EndCAN): www.endcan.org  Episode Takeaways: What made Lori write her book?  “When we are survivors, there is a developmental process, and my sentences became paragraphs, and then a book.  It is one of the faces of survivorship – we start as a victim, then move out of that phase and transition into survivorship and then into being a thriver and then when you're through finding ‘your own', you transition to transcender.” The title is, “I Live Here” which details her life story, starting with her kidnapping at the age of 3. When she was found by rescuers at the bottom of an outhouse toilet, she told them, "I live here."Children do not know what normal is, so what they are experiencing may seem normal to them without realizing it is abuse.    The narrative of her story was only what she had been told by family, and it was their story, not her's.  Every time she was interviewed publicly, they accused her making parts of the story up and the more this happened, the more she did research and saw details that she was not aware of.  Their narrative and her experience were not the same. The history of books is “his” story in everyone's own perspective.  And, you have to own your perspective and truth and defend it. It's okay to not have a family in the way most people envision.  You're going to have family that will never leave because they are touched by your story. Always take time for yourself; wounds don't heal in a day. We have to be able to say no, to society, to parents, to abusers, to anyone trying to hurt you.  Quotes of the Show: "Transcenders are people who turn around and give it back. ""Don't be concerned about people talking, be concerned when they aren't."Links: Lori's book, "I Live Here" - https://endcan.org/2022/07/11/lori-poland-memoir/

Forty years ago, when Lori Poland was only three years old, she was kidnapped from her front yard, molested, and left for dead at the bottom of a remote mountain outhouse. By chance, after three days, a bird watcher answering the call of nature heard the little girl whimpering 12 feet below. “What are you doing there?” he called down. “I live here,” the confused child answered. Today, married with children of her own, Lori is co-founder and chief executive officer of the National Foundation to End Child Abuse and Neglect, or EndCAN. As host and award-winning author Dean Rotbart notes, Lori is also a striking example of how it's possible to give meaning to life's misfortunes and build a purpose-driven career. Listen in as Lori shares her unique approach for turning adversity — regardless of the source —  into strength.

Lori Poland is the CEO of the National Foundation to End Child Abuse and Neglect. She shares openly and genuinely about the effects of trauma, the journey of healing, and the impact that relationships have on our growth by being open about her own traumatic experience of being abducted, abused and left for dead in the pit of an outhouse toilet at the age of 3.    Lori's healing experience has led her, along with her treating doctor from her kidnapping, to co-found The National Foundation To End Child Abuse and Neglect (EndCAN). Through her work at EndCAN, Lori continues the conversation with audiences big and small helping people to talk more openly about child abuse and neglect, moving it from its current view of being solely a social and legal issue to also being seen as a public health, mental health and physical health problem that needs attention, community, a voice, and significant change in order to end abuse and neglect.  Read the show notes here:   https://www.voiceofinfluence.net/273 Give and receive feedback that makes a difference!

She holds a Masters of Social Work and is passionate about helping youth and adults overcome trauma. Danielle was previously a youth pastor although has since left the church and helps individuals recognize and overcome spiritual abuse.You can find Danielle atwww.thepattersoncenter.orgMore information about spiritual abuse: https://theallendercenter.org/category/podcast/spiritual-abuse/BOOK - Let the Children Come: Preparing Faith Communities to End Child Abuse and Neglect by Jeanette Harder:  https://www.amazon.com/Let-Children-Come-Preparing-Communities/dp/0836195183/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3SEMCI41CL8GG&keywords=let+the+children+come+book&qid=1661203239&sprefix=let+the+children+come+boo%2Caps%2C307&sr=8-4Where to find more from Rising Beyond:https://www.risingbeyondpc.com/ https://www.instagram.com/risingbeyondpc/ https://www.facebook.com/risingbeyondpowerandcontrol https://www.linkedin.com/in/sybil-cummin-lpc-acs-50537791/ https://www.pinterest.com/RisingBeyondPC Our FREE Download:Free Roadmap to Communicating with your Narcissistic Ex https://www.risingbeyondpc.com/free.html 

Executive director of The National Foundation to End Child Abuse and Neglect (ENDCan ), Lori Poland, sits down for an interview with Joy Thomas from the ACE Resource Network. Poland shares her journey in writing her memoir - "I Live Here: Learning to Heal through Embracing Your Story" - about surviving childhood abuse. She has transcended her life to help, support, and be the change she wishes to see in the world. https://endcan.orgWhat are ACEs?ACEs are Adverse Childhood Experiences. They are difficult, potentially traumatic experiences a child faces before the age of 18. The landmark Kaiser Permanente-CDC study assessed the following 10 ACEs:Physical abuseEmotional abuseSexual abusePhysical neglectEmotional neglectHousehold member with mental illnessWitnessing domestic violenceHousehold member with substance abuseIncarcerated household memberDivorce or separation of parentsThey are so common that two out of three of us have at least one.ACEs can trigger Toxic Stress in the body.Without protective factors and adequate support, ACEs can lead to toxic stress in the body. Toxic stress can literally alter brain chemistry and biology, and it can even change how our DNA is read and transcribed.ACEs and toxic stress have been linked to heart disease, stroke, asthma, cancer, depression, anxiety, addiction, and suicide. ACEs may also impact children's learning and development, our workplace performance, our relationships, and lifespan.Yet many people, parents, health professionals, and educators don't know about ACEs. This lack of knowledge leads to significant illness and unimaginable expense – much of which could be averted through awareness, education, and action.#endchildabuseandneglect #endcanorg #ilivehere You can connect with ACEs resource network here https://aceresourcenetwork.com/

But the safety and well-being of children is everyone's business. We all have a responsibility to ensure that they grow up safe and healthy.

Lori Poland is a childhood survivor of a high-profile child abuse case and has since devoted her life and career to ending child abuse and neglect as well as healing its cycles and ripple effects. She has spent her career working in mental health and the nonprofit sector as a therapist for children and families. Lori transitioned from therapy to assume the job of Executive Director for EndCAN, leveraging her background in business management and program development. The National Foundation to End Child Abuse and Neglect (EndCAN) is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness of the health, mental health and public health impacts of abuse. EndCAN focuses on funding research; investing in innovative child abuse prevention and treatment; and supporting survivors.   Lori travels nationally as a motivational speaker talking about possibilities after trauma, becoming a transcender, and the ripple effects of trauma on children and families. Additionally, Lori has consulted within the legal system to advocate for change in the field and to develop greater understanding.  During this podcast she talks about her book that will be release on 7/11/2022 and can be found here.   Her book and memoir "I Live Here" will be released soon and can be pre-ordered here. It is an intimate tale of survival, triumph, and empowerment. This inspirational memoir retells what happened during Lori's four “missing” days, and chronicles her memories of identifying her abuser, facing his imprisonment and release, and tackling people's sometimes-unpleasant reactions.   The social media handles from Lori's company are: Instagram, Facebook en twitter and from Lori herself: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. Her own website can be found here. The songs picked by all our guests can be found via  our playlist #walktalklisten here. Although Lori chose two songs, she was not able to recall the name and title of the second song during our conversation, so therefore I am posting it here. She said to me via email: The singer Lee Ann Womack released a song called "I hope you dance" (MB: already added to the playlist). "I love this song and I choose it because it talks about both hope and grit at once. About humility and our ability to stumble in our humanness, as well as embark on love for support of those around us. The fight and willingness to keep going and to have fun (dancing) while doing all of the hard." ❤   Please let me/us know via our email innovationhub@cwsglobal.org what you think about this new series.
