After a local community kitchen was a victim of theft, The Salvation Army in Grand Falls, Newfoundland, stepped up to offer their support. A group of individuals broke into the church in which the Grand Falls Community Kitchen runs. They stole thousands of dollars worth of food and some cookware.   Although not a part of The Salvation Army, the kitchen and the Army have a wonderful working relationship. Community and Family Services Director, Daniel Kelly, is frequently in contact with the kitchen as they donate surplus food to each other whenever they can. As soon as staff at The Salvation Army found out about the break-in, they did not hesitate to reach out and help.   The Salvation Army stored excess food items the community kitchen received from donations after the theft. This not only helped the kitchen keep things well refrigerated, but it was also safe, away from another potential robbery. Thanks to the support of The Salvation Army and the community, the kitchen is back up and running normally.

The holidays have always been stressful, and the rising cost of living has made things even more challenging. Helping hands have always been available for those in need, thanks to organizations such as the Salvation Army. But Maj. Brian Wheeler, Community and Family Services Director for the Salvation Army in Corner Brook, says the organization finds it harder and harder to meet those needs, due to the rise in demand for their services.

“I would love to see family's reach out earlier for support, somehow have a system in place where there's not that stigma and they feel okay asking for help when things first have started to happen. You know, so that they get connected with help and they talk to other parents that are in it too.” Host and Special Education Law Attorney Tracey Spencer Walsh speaks with Leah Madamba, MS, NCC, LCMHC, and Family Services Director at Trails Carolina about how wilderness therapy programs can provide a safe space for struggling children and adolescents as an alternative to traditional treatments; and the significant impact these programs can make on families and their children suffering with mental health or behavioral challenges. Tracey's entire career has led up to this moment. Bringing her over twenty-five years of expertise in the legal industry to the air waves, Tracey dives deeper into the world of special needs and civil rights law to give parents the relevant and supportive information they crave and need, without having to sift through a mountain of articles or paperwork. It's about cutting through the constant noise, pulling the most important tidbits out, and absorbing key advice and anecdotes that help you and your child excel on their journey.

Join Stacie and Paulette as they walk down the path of divorce recovery after the pain and overwhelm of divorce. Divorce can be the catalyst for transformation and that was the case for both Stacie and Paulette. They met in Boston at an event for Mastin Kipp and again six months later in Bali where they went to join Mastin and his team of experts to write and five years later Stacie has not looked back. You will benefit from her experience and wisdom in this fun and insightful conversation. Stacie McCoy has more than 25 years of experience directing and supporting early childhood education and non-profit family service programs in New England. For more than three years, she was fortunate to oversee her county’s Community Action Partnership Child and Family Services programs, including Head Start, Early Head Start, and Early Head Start Child Care Partnership programs, as well as CAPSC’s Healthy Families America and Comprehensive Family Support Services home visiting programs. She has supported adult education and parent journeys towards self-sufficiency, both as a program facilitator for the New Hampshire Employment Program’s Workplace Success Program and as a Learning and Development Specialist for Kaplan Higher Education. As New Hampshire team Lead in Washington DC, Stacie worked with the National Head Start Association and state lawmakers, advocating for Head Start families. She was later honored with an invitation from the National Center on Early Childhood Health and Wellness and the American Academy of Pediatrics to be a panelist at the “Understanding How the Opioid Crisis and Substance Use Disorders Impact Head Start Children, Families, and Staff: Creating a Path Forward” Workshop in Washington, D.C. Her passion for healing the victims of, and her community as a whole from, the impact of substance misuse lead her to her most recent position as executive director of a recovery meeting house that provides meetings and support groups for people in New Hampshire and southern Maine 365 days of the year. Professional and personal experience drives Stacie’s belief that individuals and families are best able to heal, transform, and shine brightly when met with a compassionate, strength-based approach. Continuing on her mission to help others on that path, she is in the process of building a practice focusing on guiding couples, parents, and businesses through the complicated layers of friction and conflict toward healing, resolution, and wellness. Stacie lives in Rollinsford, New Hampshire, with her two amazing children and her guinea pig, Nan. She is an audiophile, an INFJ (Myers-Briggs says so), and is very much behind in editing the completed draft of her first book -- because she would much rather be on the sidelines and in the stands cheering wildly for her son and daughter. She can be reached at stacielynnmccoy@gmail.com and found sharing very occasional, pithy blog posts at thedatingrookie.blogspot.com. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thriving-in-chaos/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thriving-in-chaos/support
