The two talk about the evolution and impact of Preferred Behavioral Health Group, the importance of authentic relationships in nonprofit leadership, and the powerful role of self-care and trauma-informed culture in supporting employees and clients. In this episode, we discuss: How a small local operation launched in 1978 turned into a $39 million organization with 500 team members—by chasing the right grants and growing programs that truly matter to the community. What sets Preferred apart is its culture—rooted in excellence, integrity, and compassion.

When conversations about women's leadership, self-care, and trauma-informed workplaces come up, both Tara Chalakani and Ivy Slater share what it really means to lead by example—and why you have to pour from a full cup to do it well. Why nonprofit leadership in mental health matters now more than ever—because the pandemic pushed mental health to the forefront, breaking down stigma and sparking a national conversation about the care people really need. How Tara Chalakani shifts the idea of nonprofits as competitors and instead focuses on working together, showing how collaboration can better serve the shared mission of improving mental health. Dr. Tara Chalakani is a national mental health expert and dynamic leader. As the CEO of Preferred Behavioral Health Group, Dr. Chalakani leads a team of 500 employees providing quality mental health care, substance use treatment, and prevention services to almost 30,000 individuals a year, across New Jersey.

She has also taught Psychology and Mental Health Counseling curricula at the undergraduate and graduate level. Dr. Chalakani holds a doctoral degree in psychology with a concentration in behavioral health leadership, a master's degree in mental health counseling, and undergraduate degrees in nursing and psychology. All of her advanced degrees were earned while raising her children and working full-time. Dr. Chalakani is a frequent guest on national and local media outlets, public speaker, and co-host of the Welloff Podcast through iHeart Media. Dr. Chalakani is a regular contributor to Forbes, and the inaugural leader of the Forbes Nonprofit Council Women Executives group.

As the chill of autumn settles over Winchester, the Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter (WATTS) is gearing up for another season of service. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Robyn Miller, the executive director of WATTS, to discuss the shelter's mission, its expanding reach, and the vital role it plays in the community. A Low-Barrier Approach to Shelter WATTS stands out for its low-barrier philosophy. As Robyn explains, the shelter welcomes any adult over 18, regardless of identification, sobriety, or background. This inclusive approach ensures that no one is turned away during the harsh winter months. The shelter operates on a rotating basis, moving from church to church each week, with local congregations providing not only space and warmth but also meals and volunteer support. Beyond a Bed: Comprehensive Support However, WATTS offers more than just a place to sleep. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services to include day shelters and warming centers, providing guests with a safe haven around the clock. Staff and volunteers work closely with individuals to set goals, access resources, and ultimately transition out of homelessness. Whether it's helping someone reconnect with family, secure employment, or find permanent housing, WATTS is committed to supporting each guest's journey toward stability. New Initiatives: Transitional Housing and Community Partnerships This year, WATTS celebrates a significant milestone: the acquisition of a transitional home, made possible by a group of local investors. The home offers affordable rooms to individuals who are employed but unable to afford market-rate housing, giving them a crucial stepping stone toward independence. The success of this initiative has inspired the organization to seek additional properties, further expanding its impact. Moreover, WATTS has achieved a long-sought goal by partnering with a church in Shenandoah County, allowing the shelter to serve a growing population of homeless individuals in the region. This collaboration marks a new chapter in WATTS' mission, demonstrating the power of community partnerships in addressing complex social challenges. The Power of Community: Volunteers and Donations Throughout the conversation, Janet and Robyn emphasize the indispensable role of community support. Volunteers are the backbone of WATTS, assisting with everything from meal preparation to event organization. Donations—both financial and in-kind—are always needed, as the shelter covers costs for essentials like identification, transportation, and application fees for housing. Fundraising with Flavor: "Cheesin' for a Reason" To sustain its operations, WATTS hosts a variety of fundraising events. One standout is the "Cheesin' for a Reason" festival, a grilled cheese and tomato soup extravaganza featuring local restaurants and food trucks. The event not only raises funds but also brings the community together, offering families a fun way to support a worthy cause. Other initiatives, such as the Thanksgiving 5K and partnerships with local businesses, further bolster the shelter's resources. Facing Challenges, Fostering Hope Despite the many hurdles—ranging from harsh weather to the complexities of homelessness—WATTS remains steadfast in its mission. The organization's flexible, compassionate approach has helped hundreds of individuals find safety, support, and a path forward. As Robyn notes, the ultimate goal is to ensure that everyone who comes through WATTS' doors leaves with renewed hope and the tools they need to rebuild their lives. Get Involved For those inspired to help, WATTS offers numerous opportunities to volunteer, donate, or participate in upcoming events. Information is readily available on their website: https://watts-homelessshelter.org/ and social media channels. As the shelter opens its doors for another season, the message is clear: with community support, lasting change is possible.

In this episode of the Equestrian Performance Mindset Podcast, I and Lorna dive deep into one of our favourite topics: the growth mindset, and how to hold onto it when challenges threaten to knock you off track. From cross-country training breakthroughs to frustrating moments in the saddle, we share real-life riding experiences that reveal how easily old habits creep back in and how quickly self-criticism can take over. We unpack the crucial difference between a fixed and growth mindset, why criticism is not the same as feedback, and how reframing mistakes can transform your riding (and your life). You'll learn: What a growth mindset really means for equestrians How to reflect without judgement, even after a rough ride Why the “ugly” videos are often the most valuable Practical strategies to shift perspective when emotions run high The one question that instantly reveals whether you're in a fixed or growth mindset Whether you're recovering from a disappointing competition, battling self-doubt, or just want to keep improving, this conversation will help you replace harsh self-talk with curiosity, see setbacks as stepping stones, and remember that nothing is permanent.
