Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Gina Baral Abrams, Dr.P.H., Ed.M., LSW, to the Restorative Works! Podcast public health series. Today we are discussing insights on Dr. Abrams' recently published white paper, A Restorative Practices Strategy to Advance Community Health.  Using a restorative framework provides community health professionals a human-centered view from which they can begin their work by being inclusive, building authentic relationships, and identifying collective strengths. Dr. Abrams describes how this fundamental shift in public health is creating solutions to root issues. She offers several recommendations for practical applications for creating safe spaces for natural listening where groups can work towards strengthening social connection, enable community engagement, and address harm and healing. She also provides examples of how restorative practices can be used in large scale community culture and climate change in higher education and across sectors.   Dr. Abrams serves as the Director of Research and Program Evaluation and Associate Professor at the IIRP Graduate School where she teaches courses in community health and research methods, serves as the principal investigator for the Restorative Practices in Higher Education Learning Collaborative, and oversees the Collaborative Center for Restorative Practices in Higher Education. She is also an adjunct faculty at the Boston University School of Social Work, the Tulane University School of Social Work, and Mercer County Community College in Jersey.   Dr. Abrams has served in administrative roles at numerous institutions of higher education, including Lehigh University, Princeton University, MIT, and Bentley College. She also worked in disease prevention research with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Massachusetts Correctional System. Dr. Abrams' research interests include high risk behaviors among college students, restorative practices as a prevention strategy, psychological sense of community, community readiness, and collective action.   For more information on Dr. Abrams' work and approach to public health solutions through a restorative lens, read her white paper, A Restorative Practices Strategy to Advance Community Health.

Aye Tias was born into a family of NYC immigrants, they migrated from the Bronx, NYC to Atlantic County, New Jersey. From an early age he grew up in a household of music. His mother was a pianist. He grew up as a child idolizing Michael Jackson. In his pre-teens Tias began making hip hop music. He enjoyed 90s hip hop and wanted to emulate the throwback sound. His main influence who made him want to rap was Redman. He was also influenced from the Rawkus Records era of hip hop including artists such as Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Pharoahe Monch as well as Common. His brother was into the hardcore scene so Tias was also exposed to heavier musical acts such as Candiria and Shai Hulud. His household in his childhood was difficult due to personal family issues. His father had been permanently crippled in a motorcycle accident so his mother was left to take care of the family. Growing up Tias worked odd jobs at gas stations and grocery stores. At age 15 Tias started taking rap serious when he had heard an older friend “Shrine B” making hip hop music. He felt a huge inspiration and began writing everyday. Around this time Tias participated heavy into the battle rap scene. He would take the train up to NYC and attend Smack URL events for years on end. He made records with the likes of battle rappers such as Charlie Clips, Goodz Da Animal and Math Hoffa. He went by the stage name “Hindsight” but later changed it to “Aye Tias”. Tias attended Mercer County Community College where he took fine arts. After graduating he then attended NYFA in Manhattan. Shortly after Tias and a few of his friends from NYC & DC got together and moved out to Los Angeles together. He spent the next 5 years there working on set for indie films as well recording more music. He had started his own group called “Cult 45” which consisted of R&B singer “Modern Philosophy”, DC rapper “301Lo” and Brooklyn rapper “Reel”. The group was short lived due to each members personal lives conflicting with the schedule. Aye Tias went back to being a solo act. He then dropped his debut release “Grasshopper” which was a combination of an EP and a mixtape. The project was engineered by rapper/singer Kris Misfit.

Your mom was a teacher. Can you take me back to those early days and maybe how that has forged who you becameCarol  0:37  both my parents were basically civil servants. My father was a lawyer, but he was appointed to be a judge of worker's compensation for the state of New Jersey, when he was pretty still young in his career as a lawyer. He had been an assistant US Attorney briefly. But so most of his career was as a you know, administrative law judge overseeing cases. of workers comp, which is, for those of you who don't know is when people get hurt at work.

And my dad was a softy, and he, he really saw the worker side of things. we'd hear about his cases. We even went to hear him in court a couple times watch him on the bench. I definitely sensed from him that the workers or people, all walks of life, all kinds of people get hurt at work and the people they deserved to be taken care of. It was not the you know, the days of you know, let them eat cake and whatever happens it's your problem. You know, the 12 hour work days and children working. He was a he was a liberal MP. He's he saw that I was important. And then my mom was a public school high school English teacher, and just really loved the kids. And then, and I, she taught in my high school. And so that was weird. But she was also she was the teacher that the kids were the least academically inclined. The ones where the home wife wasn't so great. And homework wasn't always perfect. She's the, those are the kids that she felt the most passionate about. And I just, I definitely picked up on that. They were not highly paid people, but we've lived fine. And they, they show that we're a part of a community. And I think I want to be I want to be part of the community. I want to be someone who's above or below but different from just want to be in it.Stanislas Berteloot  2:51  Yeah. And we are going to touch on that very soon.

Um, you know, I think I wanted to follow in their footsteps. I wanted to be part of the community that that can help people like, like they they probably needed help, like they were, they were smart and they did well in school. But in those days, I and I think I may have mentioned this to you before my my father passed in January. So you know, he's been in my mind a lot and my brother was just very ranting at me recently about in those days public education was, was wonderful. They went to Trenton High School. Trenton high was one of the best high schools in the nation. Money was put into public education, it was a priority. And then you get educated people, and then educated people can go off and get the jobs and have careers that are meaningful and fulfilling and participate in the democracy. And I mean, me, I'm going off on a tangent here, but I I do see a connection that where we've gotten in our country now. We have lost that devotion to public education and and there's been too much antagonism to teachers and public schools. And I think that has an impact on the electorate, and then you get people voted into office who don't believe in these policies. So it's a cycle. Um, yeah, I guessStanislas Berteloot  5:00  You touched on on the government. And I wonder, you know what you think of the following. This country doesn't seem to have a social buffer, right, like some countries in Europe. And this is why you exist. Right, you and the housing initiative of Princeton to provide for what some countries government provide for their their own citizen. I mean, are you advocating for the government to provide more support and social service? Or do you think that the model that is in place today is efficient?Carol  5:39  I am very much advocating for the government to be more involved in providing social safety nets, you know, housing and all kinds of ways. HIP is a member of a national organization called the National Low Income Housing Coalition, which is a huge lobbying advocacy firm in DC and We, you know, I try to stay on top of what kind of legislation is out there nationally and statewide that in terms of housing, going to try to make things better without little agencies like housing initiatives, Princeton trying to, you know, keep people afloat. So, you know, there's a state, I don't know if you're aware, but they we do have a rental assistance program that just got put into effect. In the midst of COVID crisis. There's 100 million dollars going to be coming. I think some of the money is federal, but it's coming through the state for rental assistance, just because of what this problem that we know is happening right now where people aren't working in and unable to pay their rent. But it's, it's, um, it's going to start you can apply in July, the money will start flowing in September. So let's just say it works smoothly and it worked and it gets to the people who need it. There are people right now on June Whatever we are 24th. Fifth, they don't have any money to pay to rent right now, and they don't have money to pay rent in July, that money payment in August. And so, um, and the government's doing nothing about ball. Right now, the federal level, you know, the Congress is trying to get a second wave of money to come flowing called the I think they're calling it the heroes Act, the cares act was that first tranche of money, but it's not coming. They're not agreeing. And one of the big pieces is the democrats want emergency rental assistance in the bill. Now, now because people cannot pay their rent. But you know, you're not going to see that. I don't know what kind of compromise they'll come up with. But now, clearly, European countries, many European countries do better at this. And, you know, I would not think I would like nothing more than to have HIV, you know, become obsolete because we're not needed because people aren't getting evicted from their homes.Stanislas Berteloot  7:58  So when to stop That I try people vide a roof for people who don't have a roof. Can you tell us a bit more about what exactly is it a tip? When does it jumps into to help people? How do people actually what do people have to do to be to be part of this program and how many housing you provide?Carol  8:24  Okay, well, we have basically two programs and one is the actual as you say, roof over the head for what we call transitional housing with wraparound services. That program is for families because we have our housing units are only two bedroom. So we can unfortunately help single people and we can help people with too many kids because we don't have units that are large enough at this time. With this program, we really help five families at a time It's small, but it's very deep. So a family that is working low wage earning with a kid or a few couple of kids can apply to us. And we will try to provide a safe, clean, nice apartment unit in Princeton, where the public schools are excellent. And you'll help them move in, provide them with furniture, and then over the course of one to two years, which is the time frame for the being part of the back program. We will provide the family with many services that we think it takes for a family or an individual who is at the low end of the earning scale, who maybe has limited education, who has had some hard knocks in life. That's what they need to get to a better place. Place be able to be self sufficient to provide for their families. So, for example, we have a case manager who is a trained social worker. We have a financial counselor or we contract with financial counseling. So that early on, our folks learn how to look at the budget figure out you know what it is they need, they're making, we're charging 30% of their their income to rent, which is, you know, the low end of affordable. But there we are working and they should pay for their rent, but then they can budget the rest of the month. And it should be it should be doable, because whatever their income is, we'll do all will take only 30% and will subsidize the rest. We also have a career council we have a couple different types of career counselors that can help with resume and interviewing and looking for jobs, or counseling on what kind of education you might want to do while you're here in this safe bubble. And to take some risks, maybe, you know, maybe work fewer hours and go get us go go get take some classes because you're here with HIV. We'll adjust your rent. We'll work with you.And we have had some great successes in that program.Stanislas Berteloot  11:16  Yeah, we had Louise explain how you helped her actually network. I mean, I was quite fascinated to hear her mentioned that you provided her with sort of a how-to mingle and get to meet other people in the community. And that was a big plus for her.  Carol  11:40  Yeah, Louise was very young and new to the community. And you know, it's always hard to move into a new place, but when you're coming from growing up in Trenton, it's a different type of upbringing, a different kind of world. You know, it can be intimidating to come into a whole new community and integrate Your child into the system in the schools and but Louise is such a hard-working and so enthusiastic person that you know her irrepressible personality and perseverance. You know, is it's hard to matchStanislas Berteloot  12:23  perseverance. I think you're right. She also mentioned how she was on your back day after day trying to see if there was an opening.  What did you you know, how did you react to this perseverance?Carol  12:41  It workedIt actually did work. Um, yes. I don't know. I haven't heard your interview with her. But I will say that, um, when she first applied I just thought, Man, I don't know if we can help this young woman. We didn't have a unit at the time. So we couldn't and she was She didn't have her child yet. And I said, You'll just have to wait. We'll see if something opens up. I'll be back in touch. And I definitely kept her on the list. And I did. I didn't forget her. But nothing was opening up that quickly. But Louise wasn't waiting. So yes, it's true every whatever how, what period I would get an email or call from her and sure enough within them not too long. We did have a unit open and we were delighted to have her join us be part of the HIV program.Stanislas Berteloot  13:32  So Louise is one of you know, the person that you've helped. Do you have other stories of people that you would like to share with us?Carol  13:46  Yes, we have many stories we have. Um, there's a woman who is an immigrant from South America. Where, and she really wanted to be a physical therapy assistant. And she was with the program for almost two years, which is usually when it ends, but she got she was so close to finishing her PTA degree at Mercer County Community College, that HIV just extended her time with HIV, helped her with her rent, helped her get through, helped her pay for the tests you have to take to get certified. And now she is a PTA. well compensated. It's a good job, a physical therapy assistant. She lives in over in West Windsor, she's looking to buy. She and her daughter are doing great and she's and she's help like she's someone who reaches out to me. We meet for coffee, she always asked what she can do. It's a wonderful thing like Louise when folks graduate from the program. Get on there. Get to pursue what they wanted to pursue and follow their own trajectory, and then look back and see how they can help. Yeah, help each IP and help others.Stanislas Berteloot  15:10  Yeah, incredible hip started in 2010. How many families have transitioned through the program already?Carol  15:19  Since 2010, about 180 families have transitioned through, I believe, and just for the sake of history, it was established in 2001 hiep as part of a consortium of nonprofits that was called the Princeton outreach projects that was started by Trinity and Nassau Presbyterian churches. And that so that's an interesting like, history of the of the organization and they helped only a one or two people over many years and then in 2010, branched out on on our own and became our own independent 501 c threeStanislas Berteloot  15:59  and how long have you been involve yourself withCarol  16:01  the process 2016. Okay,Stanislas Berteloot  16:04  okay. We started this conversation saying how much activity have been in the vicinity of walk. I've also read that in 2018, you were awarded the the bird Vivian award for community service. So that truly speaks about your involvement with the community. What are the most proud memory you've got of the watch done?Carol  16:33  Well, that's a hard one. I'm very proud to have been very active on the planned parenthood board for many years, and I was chair of that board for three years. And given where we are now in our political world, you know, it really does feel like I was fighting the good fight by sticking by Planned Parenthood all those years and being an ambassador for Planned Parenthood, you know, I feel very strongly about a woman's right to choose and women's reproductive health. So that and that has such a big impact, you know, it's such a national thing. So I feel very proud that I devoted that much time, money and effort to that. But you know, for HIV is really in my heart now because because of the kind of work we do, it is so hands on. You know, Planned Parenthood was big picture, you know, getting out there and be an advocate, telling everybody, you know, how important these rights are giving money. So the money would go to the right people to get things done, and preserve this important right that women need. HIV is like the other end of the spectrum where you're just looking, you're really helping individual women, many, many, many, most of our clients are single moms, and you're getting into their lives in a way that isn't judged. And isn't telling people what to do. But it's trying to, you know, be a partner with them and say, let's, let's figure out how we can get this better for you and get your you and your kids on a better track. And I want to help and I can do that.Stanislas Berteloot  18:16  Right. As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?Carol  18:22  I wanted to be a lawyer like my father. Do you sometimes. Wish you had been a lawyer? No, I never wish I had been a lawyer. No, I was a lawyer for a brief time and I really did not enjoy it. So I regret that I wanted to do I really do I wish that someone had said I could have been a social worker. Hmm. I think that would have been what I want. I think I wanted to be a lawyer. I wanted to help people. I didn't want to be a lawyer because I love the law. Right.Stanislas Berteloot  18:54  So what's next for yourself or for heap you know what's on the calendar as a big project.Carol  19:04  I'm glad you asked that because when I earlier said we do two things that HIV one is the transitional housing that Louise's an example of graduating from that program, and it's been wonderful. But the other big thing that we do and what is on the horizon to be doing much more of is this is emergency rental assistance, which hiep started doing, I think, the year before I joined so in 2015. Seeing that, you know, the five families, it's, again, not narrow, deep, but not a wide, you know, impact, wanting to have an impact on more working families. The idea of keeping people out of evictions safe in their homes, because research shows that evictions can really if you once you have an eviction on your record, it can spiral the rest of your attempts to get straightened out. So if you can avoid eviction, when things get rough, like many of us, things get rough. For us, we have a safety net, we have some savings, we have friends that might help us family members. Research shows that for people working poor people only know other four people, right? They can't help each other. They may want to, but they really can't. So this emergency rental assistance is a way for folks who may have hit a hit a rough patch, how to step back, something as easy as a sick parent that you have to stay and take care of. So you couldn't go to work. Our sick child, we were we've been stepping up and providing funds for that money goes right to the landlord. And we avoid the eviction for the family and what's coming next. As you know, in the pandemic. A lot of unemployed people are unemployed people who are not going to be able to pay their rent and are already not paying the rent. And that's where I think we're going to be doing a lot in the next few months and we're fundraising lot for that. We have been surviving on private money. And what we like about having only private money to provide rental assistance is no strings attached. For example, there's some government money that you can't, you can't help the person until they have an eviction notice. That's how they prioritize, and conserve, you know, resources. So unless you have an eviction notice, you can't even get help. So you're being proactive and you're being you realize you're getting behind and you realize what's coming down the pike. You go to some of these agencies, you can't get any help. And I'll say, Well come back when you start to be evicted. But then once you have the eviction proceeding against you then fees start. And so what hiep can do with all private funding, is nip it in the bud earlier, people can come to us and say I'm falling behind. Here's how, you know, this is what I was making. This is what's happened. This is why I can't afford it. Can you fill this gap for us? And then we can do that.Stanislas Berteloot  21:58  The last question, I always ask is what is America to you?Carol  22:03  America is not right now, it's not what I thought it was. And I feel duped. And I feel kind of silly for having the blinders on that I did. It's not as if I didn't know there was racism. And I didn't know that there were bad actors. And there's greed. I knew it.But I thought it was more contained.And I thought that people who went into leadership positions, I really did. I really thought that many elected officials did it for the right reasons. And thought that they had some something to give, you know, they were smart, they were good at this. They were good at that. They cared about their community, and they were going to go represent their city, their state or their district in Congress and do good and maybe they had different political views from me. I'm not saying they all had agree with me on every policy, but I thought they were basically well-intentioned. with us. They'd like to say a few bad apples. But what I think I think I was wrong. I think that power is a very dangerous thing and people in power right now. And I'm thinking about Mitch McConnell thinking of politicians in the, in the Congress, not so much the president because he's in a different category on its own. But he's been enabled. And I just didn't think that we would innate that, that these people would enable it this way. I thought that I thought there was more of a consensus of what we want for our country. And the fact that this guy can still exist.And not there's not a just complete up, you know, uprising among his own party to say, Oh, this is what we are. It really makes some very, very sad. So America right now is at a crossroads. You know, I mean, America right now can go in a direction that will at least help us get back to some of the values that I believe that we originally stood for. But it's tough and a good part is I need to be so negative. So the good part is we are looking at things. Maybe this was good. Maybe we had to get so low to see the racism, see the ugliness, face it, see our own past and not brush it over, and then work towards what I thought we were kind of working towards in the 60s and 70s. I was young, and I was a little you know, mini hippie.Stanislas Berteloot  24:36  Okay, thank you so much Carol, thank you for your time today.Carol  24:40  Thanks for having me. I enjoyed it.

On today’s show, I am joined by Bash Halow. Bash, is one of the most entertaining speakers on the veterinary circuit, firstly because he is tear-inducingly funny when he hits his flow, highly eloquent and not afraid to say things that others might take offence to. In short, he possesses a raw authenticity that has endears him to many in his native North America and beyond, notably he recently addressed the Veterinary Management Association at the House of Lords in London. Based in New York Bash started out life as a technician and pursued his business interest to founding both the New Jersey Veterinary Hospital Manager’s Association, the Big Apple Veterinary Management group in NYC and served as an advisor for the Mercer County Community College’s Veterinary Assistant Program, the first of its kind in the area. Bash’s day to day work involves helping veterinary hospitals understand how to build stronger teams and responsibly and ethically grow their businesses. And he is a member of the American Animal Hospital Association, the Veterinary Hospital Managers Association, and the Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association which recognised Bash with the President’s Award in 2013 for his educational work in that state. He is also on the editorial advisory board for Firstline Veterinary Management Magazine and the FetchDVM360 veterinary conferences. Now, just before we jump into the episode, I just wanted to drop a quick word from our show sponsor VetX:Thrive. If you are struggling in practice or you know a vet who is then please check this out. VetX:Thrive is a community that will help you find purpose and direction plus give you the skills to succeed and be happy. As a member, you'll learn and master the non-clinical skills required for success. You’ll get access to the best mentors around and you’ll be part of a supportive global network of vets. If you think that sort of support and training would help you succeed as a vet then head to drdavenicol.com/vetx and click on VetX:Thrive to learn more. Back to Bash, I can honestly say that no guest has made me laugh so much at topics that I might otherwise find quite dark, Bash was genuine, forthright, vulnerable and honest during this interview which made him such an amazing guest. So let me speak no more and instead leave you to savour, learn or maybe just enjoy this, my conversation with the wonderful, Bash Halow. Topics covered in this episode include: *Why Bash moved upstate and enjoys farming, bees and chickens *Why everything knows about people he learned from chickens (vegans be warned, you are going to laugh at something you might find distasteful). *His opinions on the modern veterinary practice *Why the job of the veterinary receptionist is almost impossible the way most clinics do it. *Much more about Bash you have never heard, but will make you love him even more. (Except vegans - and even then, it’s hard not to love Bash).
