Discovering that your child is self-harming is understandably fear- inducing for any parent. Drawing on Bowen family systems theory, PHP invites parents to consider first how they are responding when safety fears are raised – rather than focusing on the details of the self-harm and diagnoses.In this podcast Jenny Brown interviews leading Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr Annemaree Bickerton about parenting when a child is self-harming. They cover some of these questions:What are the different ways parents might respond to a child's cutting?How can we make sense of young people's self-harm? What do you think it helps for parents to be aware of?How can parents contribute to a child's safety without removing their child's agency?What are your thoughts on helpful parent and young person conversations about suicide risks?Previous podcast with Annemaree Bickerton:https://parenthopeproject.com.au/podcasts/staying-connected-when-emotions-run-high/To watch the video mentioned – This is an excellent resource!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_B61YifyrMTo read about the safety first model https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anzf.1055for more papers: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Annemaree-Bickerton-28411169Dr Bickerton is the co-developer of the training: STAYING CONNECTED WHEN EMOTIONS RUN HIGH.Upcoming Workshops:https://www.islhd.health.nsw.gov.au/services-clinics/family-and-carer-mental-health-program-0/staying-connected-when-emotions-run-highNewsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter Youtube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProject Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparents Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/ LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/ Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/ Contact us: Contact@parentproject.com.au (02) 9904 5600

Goal setting – how parents setting applicable goals helps a family to functionIn this first episode of 2025, Jenny Brown interviews Philip Klever, a clinician and researcher from Kansas City in the USA. Philip describes his research and what it reveals about the variations in what goals parents set and together they explore how goal settings and principles are connected for parents. In the Parent Hope programs, parents are asked to consider their principles when deciding on their position. Jenny asks the question: how are principles and goals related and are applicable goals related to parents being aware of their job description? Philip Klever has conducted a remarkable 20-year study of 50 couples and their multigenerational families and has written 7 peer-reviewed journal articles about the study. https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillip-klever-8b360927/Researchhttps://www.researchgate.net/profile/Phillip-KleverKey articlehttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1752-0606.2009.00120.xNewsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter Youtube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProject Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparents Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/ LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/ Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/ Contact us: Contact@parentproject.com.au (02) 9904 5600

In this episode, Jenny Brown delves deeper into Differentiation-Based Parenting, exploring how this approach extends beyond the parent-child relationship to include the dynamic between parenting partners.Grounded in Bowen family systems theory, Differentiation-Based Parenting shifts the focus from solely addressing children's needs and vulnerabilities to encouraging parents to develop greater self-awareness while maintaining a calm and connected presence with their children. By prioritising self-management, parents create emotional space that supports both their own growth and their children's, fostering mutual independence alongside a strong, loving bond.This approach helps parents recognise their emotional triggers and reactions, allowing them to respond thoughtfully rather than being overly swayed by their children's moods or behaviours. As a result, communication and problem-solving within the family improve, leading to a healthier, more balanced dynamic. Children benefit by developing emotional resilience, learning to navigate challenges independently, and growing into self-assured, capable individuals.Newsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter Youtube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProject Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparents Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/ LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/ Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/ Contact us: Contact@parentproject.com.au (02) 9904 5600

In this week's episode of One Voice Makes a Difference, I dive into the heart behind my new Bible study, A Throne Room View: Gaining a New Perspective. This 8-week, video-driven study is now available for $45 and offers a powerful journey into God's Word, with passages from Colossians 3:1-4, Revelation 4:1, Ephesians 2:4-9, and Philippians 4:8 serving as a foundation for transformation. My “why” behind writing this book is deeply personal. This study was birthed from my own journey toward healing—healing from childhood trauma and sexual abuse. I believe with all my heart that God can heal even the deepest wounds and bring complete restoration. A Throne Room View is designed to help you gain a new, heavenly perspective that can lead to freedom, peace, and hope. This episode also features two powerful video testimonies from Amy Novakovich and Jenny Brown, whose stories of healing will inspire you to believe that God truly can do the impossible. I also share about the impartation class I held to introduce this Bible study, where I witnessed God stirring hearts and changing lives. If you've ever wondered whether healing is possible or if your past can be redeemed, this episode—and this Bible study—are for you. Let's walk this journey of transformation together. Don't miss this episode, and be sure to grab your copy of A Throne Room View today.

In this episode, Jenny Brown introduces a title for the Parent Hope Project's parenting approach. Part one of this series asks the question: Is this just another parenting style with a whole lot of techniques?Part two will explore what this approach looks like beyond the parent-child relationship, extending into the parenting partnership.Differentiation-Based Parenting, rooted in Bowen family systems theory, emphasises the value of parents becoming more self-aware while maintaining a non-anxious connection with their children. Unlike most parenting approaches, which focus primarily on children's needs and vulnerabilities, this approach encourages parents to cultivate emotional space by focusing on managing themselves.This allows both the parents and their children to develop independently while simultaneously fostering a loving relationship. By recognising their own emotional triggers and responses, parents can avoid being overly influenced by their children's moods and behaviours, promoting clearer communication and problem-solving. This parenting stance supports a healthier family dynamic, enabling children to grow as unique individuals who can learn to manage their emotions and challenges, ultimately leading to more resilient and independent young people.Newsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter Youtube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProject Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparents Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/ LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/ Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/ Contact us: Contact@parentproject.com.au (02) 9904 5600

We know that many practitioners take on leadership roles in mental health without having the opportunity to explore leadership or management training, particularly in rural areas. In this episode, Peregrine Research Associate Dr Caitlin Miller interviews Dr Jenny Brown, Director Emeritus and founder of the Family Systems Institute, and Ken Morgan, chair of the Family Systems Institute, give us a taste about their ideas on leadership in mental health. They speak about how family systems thinking can apply to mental health teams, how to notice the way you respond to anxiety as a manager, giving feedback, and why managers can be more helpful when they do a little less problem solving.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, the tables are turned again as Vicki Wilkins, the Parent Hope Project Professional Programs Coordinator, interviews Dr. Jenny Brown. They discuss the topic of limit setting and responding to children's misbehaviour.Does the family systems approach recognise that parenting involves responding to children's misbehaviours?  This question seems to come up so much at parent events and in our parents' hope for professional training –  It speaks to parent uncertainty about what their leadership involves with so much conflicting advice out there.Guest Host-Vicki WilkinsVicki Wilkins is a mother of three primary age children, a Psychologist & one of the valued members of the Team at the Parent Hope Project.Interviewee & Regular Host of the Parent Hope Podcast- Dr Jenny BrownDr Jenny Brown has worked in child, couple, and family health since the 1980s, focusing on child and adolescent mental health and the crucial role of parental involvement in treatment. Throughout her career, Jenny has observed and researched how easily parents can lose confidence in their strengths and wisdom, often stepping aside to let experts address concerns about their children. Her extensive clinical and research work based on Bowen family systems led to a profound realisation: children do best when their parents and carers have self-awareness and clarity in their roles rather than just trying to fix their child.   Driven by this insight, Jenny developed the Parent Hope Project. The project reflects her commitment to empowering parents, enabling them to effectively nurture their children's mental health. This approach is grounded in her depth of understanding of family therapy, particularly Dr Murray Bowen's family systems theory.  Episode Links: https://www.amazon.com/Parenting-Clarity-Caregivers-Supporters-Flourishing/dp/0648578542?ref_=ast_author_dp https://parenthopeproject.com.au/when-tantrums-are-also-disobedience/ Newsletter-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/#newsletter Youtube-http://www.youtube.com/@ParentHopeProject Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/coachingparents Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/parenthopeproject/ LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/79093727/admin/feed/posts/ Website-https://parenthopeproject.com.au/ Contact us: Contact@parentproject.com.au (02) 9904 5600

We know that our lives and our leadership flourish when we practice showing up in emotionally mature ways but we don't always know what that looks like practically. After thinking together about emotional maturity for more than 20 years, we believe that it looks like practicing being both defined and connected as a way of life. In this podcast, we talk about defining ourselves, letting others define themselves, staying appropriately connected . . . and then we look at the “and” that holds them all together. It's a little bit like patting your head and rubbing your tummy–trying to do both things at once is a challenge! We think it's worth it, though. We hope you'll join us to look at how the concept of being defined and connected shows up in your life and how you can use it as a framework to think through some of your stickiest problems. Conversation overview: Defining ourselves by clearly and courageously saying what is so for us Allowing (and even inviting) others to define themselves Staying appropriately connected and honoring our relationships with others even if they see things differently Connecting by listening rather than convincing Disagreeing without dehumanizing each other Looking at your patterns: Do you give up defining yourself in order to preserve the connection? Do you define yourself but let go of the connection? Examples of practice A visual representation Resources: How did Jesus deal with Conflict? Growing Yourself Up by Jenny Brown

March 15th is the looming deadline for crop insurance decisions that farms will live with for the rest of the calendar year.  Do you have all the answers you need to make the right choice?  Crop insurance rates are basically the same for any company you might work with, but the service you receive can vary. Jenny Brown is a Rural Mutual Crop Insurance advisor.  She's been involved in production agriculture her entire life, and continues farming with her husband today.  That means she understands the unknowns about growing a crop.  She also thoroughly understands the options that Rural Mutual can present in the form of crop insurance. Brown sits down to visit with Pam Jahnke about elements that shouldn't be overlooked for risk management strategies in the growing season of 2024, and what you can expect if things don't go your way.  Input costs, poor market prices, uncertain weather patterns, government policy adjustments - she's got her eye on it all for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2023 has been a major year for workers so far, and the momentum shows no signs of slowing down as we head into 2024. While major strikes by UAW at the Big Three in the auto industry and by WGA and SAG-AFTRA in the entertainment world are making headlines, thousands of workers across the country are taking action in ways big and small that you may not always hear about. On this show, we're joined live by Jenny Brown, assistant editor at Labor Notes and author of Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight Over Women's Work, to discuss the labor year so far and what organizers can learn going into 2024. We also hear from Evan, vice chair of the Graduate Center Chapter of the Professional Staff Congress at CUNY,  on how union organizers are protecting the free speech of Palestinian solidarity activists on campus.

Farmers face many challenges, including unpredictable weather, pests, and market fluctuations. To help handle these, farmers turn to their local crop insurance agents for help. Jenny Brown,  Multi-Peril Specialist Team Leader for Rural Mutual Insurance says delays in harvest schedules and the looming December 10th deadline for the end of insurance coverage are some of the biggest concerns she's hearing from farmers. However she says we still have time and expects things will be on track soon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jenny Brown, who has developed a project aimed at supporting parents in navigating the challenges of parenting adolescents.I first came across Jenny in my family therapy studies, and her work has left a lasting impression on me. Her dedication to understanding and helping parents in their journey of raising kids and teenagers has been influential in my own work as a family therapist.Throughout our discussion, we touched upon various aspects of parenting during the adolescent years. Jenny shares her expertise and offers valuable insights and guidance on improving parent-child relationships.Key takeawaysBackground and Project: Jenny Brown discusses how the Parent Hope Project is rooted in her earlier article, "We Don't Need Your Help But Can You Please Fix Our Children?" She emphasises the importance of involving parents in therapy, as the parent-child relationship is a crucial part of the therapeutic process.Communication and Tone: Jenny and I talk about the importance of effective communication between parents and adolescents. We highlight the significance of shifting from a controlling or passive-aggressive tone to one that encourages open dialogue and collaboration.Empathy and Understanding: The conversation emphasises the importance of empathy for parents and young people. Understanding the challenges and mixed messages that adolescents often convey and how parents can navigate some of these difficult conversationsMaking a Project out of Yourself: Jenny advises parents to shift their focus from trying to change their child to making a project out of themselves. This means being aware of their emotional tone, adjusting their communication, and allowing their child space to grow and develop their own identity.About JennyDr Jenny Brown has been working in the field of child and family mental health and family therapy since the 1980's.

In this podcast, Jenny Brown interviews Susy Lee, prize-winning author, speaker, and educator. They discuss Susy's prize-winning book 'Raising Kids Who Care: Practical Conversations for Exploring Stuff That Matters, Together'. Susy writes:'In our complex world, we need to be aware of looming pitfalls and be intentional in helping kids navigate their way to compassion and wonder, driven by values and purpose.'  This path of conversations leads to amazing hope.In this conversation, Jenny explores Susy's thoughts on how parents can influence the development of a kind and caring child without making a change project out of the child.Susy writes that 'children primarily learn ethical behaviour by watching their parents.' Jenny asks her what she thinks is the impact of what parents care about and how they live out. 

Parenting doesn't end when a child leaves school. In fact, parenting can become even more complex with young adults, especially if they are struggling to manage adult responsibilities. In this podcast, Dr Jenny Brown talks about ways parents can be a resource to a young adult child who is navigating an increasingly complicated and demanding life transition. Using a case example, she highlights the value of parents staying connected but not over-invested in their adult child. Creating space for building independence and pulling back from accommodating a child's under-functioning is critical. This can be challenging to shift for the parent as it is for the young adult child; hence, parents need to own the adjustments they choose to make and not just follow the advice and opinions of others.Some helpful family systems links on the topic:When Your Young Adult with “Failure to Launch” Won't Get Help: Survival Tips for Parents Who Aren't Done Parentinghttps://www.rtor.org/2017/10/24/failure-to-launch-part-4/Young Adults Leaving Home – you tube interviewshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v4mkHeu--Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eya61VCm82ghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGYmxUblcD4

In this podcast, Jenny Brown explores the challenges of parenting Special Needs children – neurodiverse kids or children with a biological impairment of some kind. She interviews Nicole Clarke, who is both a mother of a child with Autism and a school counsellor. It is helpful to consider if the same principles of working on the parent rather than the child apply to special needs kids. A systems view suggests that any added stress and anxiety can be relieved by a parent by making a more intense project out of finding help and treatments for a child. Yet, at the same time, this extra focus on the child can reduce the child's development capacities. The child becomes attuned to a parent's increasing involvement which can trigger more dysregulation. It is so very hard for parents of children who appear to be neurologically different in their capacities to socialise, empathise and control behaviours, not to get swept along by the pull to add multiple treatments to the child's life. Nicole speaks of the value of working to be less intense as a parent despite the extra challenges. She talks about the treatments focus on getting your child to be different as opposed to accepting who they are and reducing fear about the future. 

Jenny Brown is an organizer with National Women's Liberation, the author of Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now, and a former collaborator with the Redstockings. We talk about the how radical feminism/women's liberation went from a splinter of the New Left to shaping the course of women's struggles around the world, how their politics are misunderstood today, how their demands for repealing all laws on abortion was recuperated by a supreme court in need of legitimacy, and why the political class today strips those rights.

Behind the News, 7/7/22 - guests: Jenny Brown on abortion, David De Jong on Nazi billionaires - Doug Henwood

The US Supreme Court has just overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion rights which had set the precedent for almost 50 years, throwing authority over abortion down to the states to decide. As of now, a dozen or so states have trigger laws which will outlaw abortion fairly rapidly, and many others will likely follow suit in the coming weeks and months. In light of this, we're interrupting our regular 2 week episode release schedule to bring you a special extra episode. There's a lot of media coverage on the Roe decision, of course, but a lot of it is lacking in its analysis, and that's why we've brought on two guests to provide a much needed perspective. Diana Moreno is an immigrant rights activist and Democratic Socialists of America organizer in Queens, and Jenny Brown is an organizer in the women's liberation movement and the author of several books on feminism, reproductive rights, and labor, including Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now and Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight Over Women's Work. Both Diana and Jenny approach their feminism with a socialist analysis that provides a strong materialist grounding, a deep understanding of the dynamics around immigration, and an orientation that challenges traditional liberal and oftentimes white, heteronormative feminism that dominates most mainstream discussions. In this Conversation we explore the history of abortion in the United States, a class analyses on abortion and reproductive justice, the ideologies of liberal versus socialist feminisms, the abject failure of the Democratic Party, possible paths forward, and much more.

On this edition of Parallax Views, longtime community and union organizer Daisy Pitkin, who is now playing a role Starbucks Union wave as part an offshoot of the union UNITE, joins the program to discuss her new memoir On the Line: A Story of Class, Solidarity, and Two Women's Epic Fight to Build a Union. She tells the story of her attempts to help organize for workers at industrial laundry factories with dangerous working conditions in Phoenix, Arizona. In doing so she shows that labor organizing requires not only righteous anger but solidarity between workers and touches upon the ways in which labor organizing must democratize knowledge of organizing. Organizers, in other words, must share their knowledge with workers themselves so that the workers can organize themselves. We cover these topics as well as the role of metaphorical role of moths in her memoir, getting to know workers on a personal, the rise of a youth that is calling itself "Generation U" o "Generation Union", the history of labor law in the U.S. and how workers face an uphill battle legally, how the the labor struggle cannot simply be one through hoping for legislation but creating an organic movement that will apply external pressure to those in power, and much, much more! Then, in the latter half of the program, women's liberation movement organizer Jenny Brown joins the program to discuss the issue of abortion rights and Roe V. Wade with a focus on how these matters relate to class struggle. In particular, Jenny explains how the ruling class has thought about abortion from the past to the present and addresses the powerful, monied forces that are in favor of restricting abortions and overturning Roe V. Wade. All that and more in this fascinating discussion that touches upon a number of of seemingly disparate but related topics such as economic growth in capitalism, immigration, labor, the overpopulation theory popularized in the late 1960s by Paul Erlich's The Population Bomb, declining birthrates, and more!

Producer Dan presents a 2019 interview with organizer Jenny Brown who examines the long history and present politics of the fight for abortions in America, and explains why the left must be clear and honest about abortion - as an unrestricted right, as a social service to be included in national healthcare, and as an unfinished front of the feminist revolution. https://www.versobooks.com/books/3095-without-apology https://abortionfunds.org/funds/
