 In this best-of episode, hosts Jodie Sweetin and Amy McCarthy tackle one of the most challenging yet essential topics for parents: having “The Talk” about drugs with kids. Joined by pediatrician Dr. Gary Kirkilas, youth drug prevention expert Ray Lozano, musician and The Voice winner Alisan Porter, and actor Greg Grunberg, the episode emphasizes the importance of ongoing, open conversations rather than a single daunting talk.

Parents are equipped with practical tips, such as using mealtime for open discussions, avoiding accusatory questions, and accessing resources like "Just Think Twice" and "Get Smart About Drugs." Key Takeaways: Start early and keep the conversation ongoing rather than relying on one “big talk.” Recognize the influence of legalization and cultural desensitization on youth perceptions. Use family mealtime and non-judgmental questions as conversation tools. Access resources like "Just Think Twice" and "Get Smart About Drugs" to empower both kids and adults.

Dr. Sandra Morgan is joined by her friend and colleague, Kimberly Casey. The two discuss the National Human Trafficking Prevention Framework and the ways in which human trafficking is not simply a crime, but a human rights and public health issue. Kimberly Casey Kimberly is Communications and Prevention Specialist at the Office on Trafficking in Persons, Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. Kimberly is a graduate of George Mason University with a Master of Public Policy, culture, society and development. She is a self proclaimed learner and a strong proponent of connecting proven public health strategies with the vision of what we believe is possible to advance efforts to prevent human trafficking and other forms of violence. Key Points Human trafficking is not just a crime, but a human rights and public health issue, meaning it is also preventable. To effectively prevent human trafficking, real systemic change is needed as well as a system response, like this prevention framework. The National Human Trafficking Prevention Framework takes into account factors that make individuals or communities more vulnerable to violence, and assess the ways that buffers can be created to prevent violence from being experienced by an individual or community. Collective action is important for the prevention framework, making shared definitions essential, ensuring all those involved in the framework are working to move in the same direction and have common goals.

We've talked about this for a while now, so looking forward to the conversation. Sandra Morgan 2:12 Well, you and I have been having this prevention conversation for a really long time, and sometimes it feels like we're trying to find a magic formula, or even something just super simple, like teaching toddlers to brush their teeth, that becomes a lifelong habit that prevents dental decay. The more I look at prevention, the more I realize it cannot be a one off presentation. Awareness is maybe the beginning, but it certainly does not encompass prevention. When I learned from you that the National Human Trafficking Prevention Framework was being developed and will be released, I wanted to have a conversation. So can you tell us just a little bit about your expectations for the framework? Kimberly Casey 3:16 Absolutely. So we know that in addition to being a crime, in addition to being a human rights issue, human trafficking is really a public health issue. And like any public health issue, it's preventable, right? But we need to have a whole system response put in place to be able to effective...

The Los Angeles musician recorded the project live in Nashville, capturing the throwback vibe of her favorite albums from groundbreaking female artists such as Brandi Carlile, Patty Griffin, Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt. Porter co-wrote every song on Pink Cloud, drawing on Americana, Country and R&B/Soul influences as well as the personal milestones on her journey. As a child in Massachusetts, she won Star Search and soon relocated to Los Angeles. She landed roles in films like Curly Sue and Parenthood then made her Broadway debut in Footloose and played Bebe Bensonheimer in the revival of A Chorus Line in 2005. Not long after that, a friend submitted her to The Voice without telling her – a surprise move that opened the door for the next phase of her career. Making an intentional decision to turn her creative energies to music, Porter accepted the offer to appear on the show – and ultimately won the competition in 2016. Since then, Alisan has been writing and performing all around the world. She has shared the stage with incredible artists such as Christina Aguilera, Adam Lambert, Toby Keith, Cole Swindell, and many others. She has released three albums and written songs for artists such as Alison Krauss, Adam Lambert and the Veronica's. Now Porter spends time coaching young singers, songwriting, recording and raising her three beautiful children. @iam_alisanporter Greg Grunberg is best known for his role as X-wing pilot Snap Wexley in “STAR WARS”, as well as “STAR TREK”, “A STAR IS BORN” and alongside Al Pacino in the Barry Levinson film ‘PATERNO.'

My Guest during this episode is Sierra Thomas. She is new to the prevention world, becoming a Community Prevention Specialist in June of 2023. She previously worked as a certified elementary school counselor and continues to love helping others grow in their mental health and wellness journeys. I met Sierra at a professional development workshop, and she shared with me one of her 28 in 28 goals is to be a podcast guest, so I invited her to the Prevention Perk to chat about her leap into the prevention workforce.  She currently resides in KCMO, but hails from small town South Dakota. During this conversation I hope to learn about, “why the leap into prevention” , “what she hopes from this career path”, and most importantly about her dog Harper."

Dr. Alexander Elswick grew up with privilege and seemingly all the protective factors that might keep him out of the way of addiction. It was then that anxiety disorders began showing up for him. He began getting in trouble in college. He was prescribed opiates and quickly became addicted.He went to jail on drug trafficking charges and was kicked off his college baseball team. What followed was a cycle of arrests, homelessness and treatments. He was shocked the way he was treated in homelessness. Nothing had prepared him for that painful experience, but it was eventually a part of his finally getting sober.Today, Dr. Elswick serves the University of Kentucky as an Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist for Substance Use Prevention and Recovery.

After having struggled with his mental health for some time and having four previous attempts, Zebulun made the decision to end his life on March 1 of his senior year at just 18 years of age. Now, 14 years later, Donna Wolff has made it her life's mission to create beauty amidst the tragedy. She has dedicated her life towards speaking openly about the loss of her son to suicide, not to trigger or cause harm for anyone listening but rather to continue the conversation so that we may hold space for those struggling with suicidal thoughts and those remaining after the loss of a loved one to suicide.So... how do we have these awkward conversations in life? Talking to someone who is struggling with their mental health doesn't have to be intimidating. Simply remain open and honest from a place of love. “How are you today? No, seriously, talk to me. Are you okay? I've been seeing this... I've been hearing this... I've been noticing this... People sometimes who are doing or saying these things are thinking of suicide. Are you thinking of suicide?” Don't be afraid to have those awkward conversations as you never know whose life you might impact for the better. Mental illness is a disease just like any other that can affect the mind and body. Releasing the stigma helps reduce the fears behind speaking openly and honestly. Please follow the links below for more on the benefits of having those very real and much needed conversations. The Awkward Conversation: https://youtu.be/fV1CQaTTvzE Seize The Awkward: https://youtu.be/r47l4eUU1bc Loss is loss. Yet in the face of someone taking their own life, family and friends often become silent and treat the death with shame and judgment. It's okay to bring a casserole to the surviving family. It's okay to offer to fold their laundry, clean their house, watch their kids, or run to the store for them. It's okay to share stories and say the name of the person who has died. Grief is very personal but it doesn't have to be isolating. Eighty percent of people left by suicide can also experience suicidal ideations. In lieu of telling someone what they should be doing, choose to be lovingly present, holding space for them to grieve. They need community. They need support. They need you. Together, we can help #StopSuicide. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or a crisis, please call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or 988 or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741. These services are free and confidential. Donna is the President of Northeast NE Suicide Prevention Coalition, a mother, survivor of suicide loss, cosmetologist, Domestic Violence Community Outreach Advocate, certified in Basic Mediation, facilitator of a support group and has done numerous speaking events since losing her son. She also works with the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska as a Prevention Specialist and with the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska as a Training & Outreach Specialist. Being native herself, her mission in life now is to share her son's story, reducing the stigma surrounding suicide and let others know they CAN survive and THRIVE after a suicide loss. In the words of Donna Wolff and her native culture, YOU ARE WORTHY!

Tommy is an industrial athletic trainer and injury prevention specialist. In this episode we discuss what exactly an injury prevention specialist is and how it compares to the industrial athletic trainer. There can be a lot of nuance in what you can and cannot do under each title and how each one allows you to practice within the full scope of your training. Tommy shares how OSHA plays into the management of each case and scenarios and where an athletic trainer can focus their skills when it comes helping the patients they care for. Tommy provides some great insight in this episode if you have considered going into the industrial setting or applying for an injury prevention specialist role. There are many different aspects you need to learn and understand moving into this setting and this is a great episode to get a solid foundational understanding to move into this space.

What makes someone "askable"? Arlington, Virginia has launched an "Askable Adult" program to build the capacity of adults to be nonjudgmental and approachable resources and supports for youth in the county. Program proponents believe that everyone has a role to play in supporting the health and well-being of children and youth in the community.  And on their short list of key skills that make adults more askable? Be a curious co-pilot. To help us learn what it means to be an Askable Adult, I was joined by three dynamic and devoted Arlington community builders: Ashley Blowe, Training and Prevention Specialist, Department of Human Services; Siobhan Grayson, Youth Outreach Coordinator for the Prevention Unit under the Department of Human Services; and Scotney Young, Prevention and Outreach Manager at Doorways, a domestic and sexual violence response organization.

Kate Kunkel has enjoyed careers as a writer, a harpist, and a TV talk show host. But her most important job developed from her desire to prevent what happened to her mother from ever happening to anyone else. Seeing the devastation that dementia wreaks has made Kate a passionate advocate for prevention of this terrible disease. By researching and creating a program to prevent dementia, Kate has made it her life's work to educate and empower people to take control of their lives and save their brains. She believes that Losing your Mind is a Choice. https://katekunkel.com/ 1. There's no reason your brain has to decline as you get older 2. Myth: Brain games will prevent cognitive decline. The only way a brain game can help if it's something that's new to you 3. Myth: memory loss is the biggest symptom to worry about. Rather, look out for personality changes, loss of sense of smell and new cravings for something sweet.  4. Myth: my brain is going to slow as I get older. Are you experiencing symptoms of cognitive decline or is it time to look at your environment? 5. Every time we use a mind-altering substance, we're also altering our brain 6. Joy is a huge part of a mindful and happy brain 7. We can actually change our brains - we can turn them around after injuries and damage
