Show Topic: PART 2 FAMILIES IMPACTED BY GUN VIOLENCE Derek Olivier, an Arkansas Baptist College student, was shot and killed in September 2012 near the campus while helping a group with car trouble. The case is still unsolved. He left his Louisiana life as a star high school football player and brought his talents to Arkansas Baptist University in the summer of 2012. Just months later his parents Mr. and Mrs. Alma Olivier would receive that call that parents never want to receive, that Derek had been the victim of gun violence. Derek stopped to help a group of men change a flat tire near campus that evening. Derek was not an intended target. Instead, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time just helping a stranger when he could.

In this episode I speak with Abby Burle, founder of Love Your Story, an organization dedicated  to create places of belonging for families impacted by disabilities.  This project started after Abby and her husband Ryan traveled around the country seeking medical care for their triplets. They realized the financial impact of disability on family, and that many families spend more than 22% of their annual income on expenses related to the disability.  In the episode, Abby talks about her journey as a mom to children with disabilities, and how she advocated to start Love Your Story. She shares the story of their first project, which was to purchase a home in Gainesville, Georgia to provide physical and financial rest for families traveling to the area for medical treatment or intensive therapies. Abby is passionate about inclusion and changing the way we talk about disability and understanding those who live with disability in their families. You will be inspired by her drive and how she creates community.  Enjoy!!You can follow Abby at:Instagram @loveyourstory.usWebsite: https://loveyourstory.usCome share your thoughts in the Safe Harbor Facebook group.

Michigan’s problem-solving courts have been extraordinarily successful in solving problems and saving lives, thanks in large part to Dr. Barbara Howes. These innovative courts reach 97 percent of our state’s population and help to make communities statewide safer and stronger. Also called treatment courts, they are successful because participants can access treatment and other support needed to address underlying issues affecting persons entering the criminal justice and abuse neglect court systems, specifically, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, mental illness, and untreated trauma. Unlike traditional courts, problem-solving courts are not adversarial and take a team approach that brings community stakeholders together to reach a “win-win” outcome that prevents further offenses and saves local governments the cost of incarceration. The Cass County Courts have been on the forefront of the problem-solving/treatment court movement and have obtained numerous federal and state grants to provide much-needed services to our Cass County community. Cass County’s full continuum of problem-solving courts focuses on providing evidence-based responses that work to improve outcomes, restore families, and make our communities safer.

My name is Jason Mendelsohn, and I am 49 years old. I have been happily married for 22 years, and we have three terrific kids; a son and daughter twins, 17, and an 11-year-old son. When I was 44, and in the best shape of my life, I put my hand on my neck to ponder a question while taking a financial exam and felt a bump. After passing the test, I spoke to my father, who is a physician, and we called my otolaryngologist (ENT) concerned about the bump. My ENT, knowing that I didn’t smoke and that I drink only socially, asked me to come see him over the next few weeks. I saw him three days later, as I am a guy that goes to the doctor. He put me on 10 days of antibiotics and steroids, while also having me schedule a needle biopsy and CT scan, in the slight chance the bump didn’t go away. Two days later I left for the Florida Keys on vacation and then flew from there to Washington, D.C. for an industry conference. I felt great and enjoyed both trips.

While there are many high-quality treatment centers, organizations, and programs for people struggling with opioid addiction, their families often lack the same resources. Opioid use changes the lives of the addict’s family as well as the addict, and many families don’t know what to do when a loved one is faced with opioid addiction. Opioid addiction is a battle for everyone involved, and without proper guidance, adjusting to this change can be its own challenge. To help families become a positive force in their loved one’s struggle with opioid addiction, joining us today is Roy Poillon. Founder of R~House Alzheimer’s Family Learning Center and Families Impacted by Opioids, his mission is to empower families in their journey to support a loved one struggling with substance use disorder. This May 4th, through his Addiction Family Empowerment Conference, Roy is channeling his veteran experience in aiding families with Alzheimer’s, to empower the families of Opioid addicts by providing them with the therapy, training, and educational resources they need to be a positive force in their loved one’s recovery. Listen to today’s podcast for a preview of Roy Poillon’s, Addiction Family Empowerment Conference – for families that have been impacted by the opioid epidemic.

“Respite is for the parents and for the kids. It’s for the whole family to really have an opportunity to just come to a church and know that the church genuinely wants them to be there.” -Gina Spivey, Disability Ministry Leader Families or caregivers who have children with disabilities are often isolated, exhausted, and grieving. It's so invaluable when there is a place for kids to just be themselves, for caregivers to have a break, and for the church to serve well. Listen as Crystal Keating talks with ministry leaders Gina Spivey and Bret Welshymer about how they use respite events as an opportunity to minister to families impacted by disability in their church. They share the importance of respite and practical encouragement and advice for how you can put on a respite event. No matter how large or small, your church can provide this time of refreshment as a way to welcome and embrace families impacted by disability.

The organization also equips individuals and churches with disability ministry training and provides higher education courses through the Christian Institute on Disability. www.joniandfriends.org

Join us as we welcome author Marianne Curtis and her new book; "Rae Of Hope."   Marianne will be discussing her new book; "Rae Of Hope: Stories Of Survivors", which is a book about kids who have been bullied.    Rae of Hope: Stories from Survivors is a collection of real stories, written by real people who have suffered at the hands of bullies. In each story, contributors dig deep into their own painful memories to vulnerably expose their horrors with the hope that their survival will inspire others to fight.   This collection includes contributions from across Canada, the US and UK. Read stories of bullying survivors, including submissions from Leah Parson’s, whose daughter “Heather” was bullied to the point of suicide in 2013 in Nova Scotia; Jenna Nickie, the “Warrior Mom” from Saskatchewan; Evan Wiens, who fought successfully for a gay-straight alliance within a Christian-based school district and Candace Maxymowich, a budding politician subjected to international online bullying during a civic election campaign also contributed to this project. Gina Dickason, founder of Families Impacted by Bullying shares her daughter Jade’s story for the first time ever.   Along with real Stories, Rae of Hope: Stories from Survivors includes vital information that could help you identify and stop bullying in your home or community.   By sharing our stories, we take back our power and are no longer victims.   Tune in as we welcome author Marianne Curtis and her informative book titled; "Rae Of Hope:Stories From Survivors."   Stay tuned and keep it locked!
