In this episode of the Pain Points Podcast, Lauren Lewis sits down with Mary Czopp, Chief Communications and Development Officer at Child and Family Services, for a conversation about the evolving needs of families, the power of storytelling, and the life-changing work happening across Western New York. For more than 150 years, Child and Family Services has been helping children, families, and individuals navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Mary shares how the organization has evolved over time while staying true to its mission of protecting, supporting, and empowering those in need. Together, Lauren and Mary discuss: • The Pain Points of serving a community with constantly changing needs• How Child and Family Services has evolved over its 153-year history • The critical role of foster care, adoption, counseling, and family support services • The growing need for Haven House, Erie County's only licensed domestic violence shelter • Why storytelling is so important in nonprofit work • Supporting children through some of life's most challenging circumstances • The importance of employee wellness and supporting those who do difficult work every day• Building awareness around services that many people do not realize are available • How community partnerships help create opportunities for children and families Mary also shares some of the stories that have stayed with her throughout her 16-year career, including the moments that remind her why this work matters and the incredible resilience shown by the families Child and Family Services supports every day. One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that healing and growth rarely happen alone. Whether through counseling, foster care, education, shelter services, or community support, meaningful change happens when people have access to the resources and relationships they need to move forward. If you are passionate about community impact, nonprofit leadership, mental health, family services, or making a difference in the lives of others, this is an episode you will not want to miss.
