I wanted to make a difference.”- Kay Phillips “If you're going to be a social worker, you need a therapist. I see one regularly, and it helps keep me grounded and focused. Self-care is critical for longevity in this work.”- Jennifer Gamble “When a child feels safe enough to trust me, to tell me something they've never told anyone before, that's what keeps me going. It's the most rewarding feeling.” – Scott Steele Resources: National Children's Alliance Children's Advocacy Center's Staffing and Salary Survey – May 2022 Report [Report] Safe Babies Court - SCIMHA [Website] Host: Christina Rouse, MSW Program Manager, CAC Development Southern Regional CAC Project Manager: Lauren Tanner, MSEd Program Manager, Communications & Instructional Design Southern Regional CAC Want to hear more?

Jen Psaki is joined by Stacey Abrams to discuss Kamala Harris' increasingly powerful attacks on Donald Trump about "the enemy within." Next, Jen reflects on Harris' speech in Erie, Pennsylvania where the Vice President played clips of Trump's own words. Jen explains why we should believe Trump when he says what he is going to do in a potential second term. Former Rep. Joe Walsh and political columnist Dana Milbank join the show to discuss the state of the race and the urgency that Harris faces to show voters just how dangerous Trump is. Later, Jen explains how Trump and his allies' lies are causing real harm in communities across America - from Springfield, Ohio to Rutherford County, North Carolina. Jen is also joined by Chris Wallace to discuss his new book "Countdown 1960" focused on the presidential race between JFK and Richard Nixon, and the key lesson it holds for peaceful transfers of power and maintaining democracy.Check out our social pages below:https://twitter.com/InsideWithPsakihttps://www.instagram.com/InsideWithPsaki/https://www.tiktok.com/@insidewithpsakihttps://www.msnbc.com/jen-psaki

I was born and raised in Shelby, North Carolina. We had a farm in Rutherford County where my dad grew up where we had horses and black angus cows. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in criminal justice and I worked in law enforcement training at the North Carolina Department of Justice before I went to law school at North Carolina Central University. I've been a member of the North Carolina Bar since 1983, which is the same year I joined the Air Force. While in the Air Force, I earned a Master of Laws in government procurement law from the George Washington University School of Law and a Master of Laws in military law from the U.S. Army JAG School. I'm best known for having served as the Chief Prosecutor for the terrorism trials at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. After serving in that role for two years, I resigned when I was ordered to use evidence that was obtained by torture. Later, I was head of the Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division at the Congressional Research Service; a law professor at the Howard University School of Law; and an administrative law judge at the U.S. Department of Labor. I've written for the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and I've appeared on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News and NPR. I retired in 2019 and moved back home to western North Carolina. I was the Democratic Party nominee for the NC 11 congressional seat in 2020. My wife and I have a rescue cat named Mika and a rescue dog named Maggie. Built to lose. I've been training to lose this Senate race for all of my life. I voted for Al Gore in 2000, cheered for Carolina basketball during the Matt Doherty era, and watch the Carolina Panthers on Sundays (shudder). It's the thrill of a lifetime to give voters in District 37 the opportunity to choose their next representative. I'm going to lose, but we'll have some fun, make some noise, and raise some hell on the way down. My platform Abortion is healthcare. We must fully fund public education. We need common sense gun laws to keep our communities safe. And all of those would be achievable in our purple state if we had a representative democracy instead of this gerrymandered nonsense.

Doug Elliott is a naturalist, herbalist, storyteller, musician, author, illustrator and something of a living legend in Rutherford County in Western North Carolina. After a story about deciphering the secret language of trout, we open on Doug's early career as a 1970's traveling forager. Now, no Doug Elliott conversation would be right without a 101 on groundhog-ology ranging from how to make groundhog shoelaces to understanding the medicinal properties of groundhog grease. The natural next step from groundhogs is opossums, Doug recounts the time he befriended an eccentric Alabama mayor who happened to be the president of the Possum Growers & Breeders Association of America. From there its on to folkways & more encounters with the natural world: doctoring a wounded hunting dog with strips of bark; a life lesson learned from a spruce grouse; eating poison ivy; folk names for regional plants & birds; and the inspiration for his latest book about bees.

Wes Clark reads a telling line in a police report about how Rutherford County's juvenile justice system really works. He and his law partner Mark Downton realize they have a massive class action on their hands. From Serial Productions and The New York Times in partnership with ProPublica and Nashville Public Radio, “The Kids of Rutherford County” is reported and hosted by Meribah Knight, a Peabody-award winning reporter based in the South.
A police officer in Rutherford County, Tenn., sees a video of little kids fighting, and decides to investigate. This leads to the arrest of 11 kids for watching the fight. The arrests do not go smoothly. From Serial Productions and The New York Times in partnership with ProPublica and Nashville Public Radio, “The Kids of Rutherford County” is reported and hosted by Meribah Knight, a Peabody-award winning reporter based in the South.
A young lawyer named Wes Clark can't get the Rutherford County juvenile court to let his clients out of detention — even when the law says they shouldn't have been held in the first place. He's frustrated and demoralized, until he makes a friend. From Serial Productions and The New York Times in partnership with ProPublica and Nashville Public Radio, “The Kids of Rutherford County” is reported and hosted by Meribah Knight, a Peabody-award winning reporter based in the South.
In April 2016, 11 Black schoolchildren, some as young as 8 years old, were arrested in Rutherford County, Tenn. The reason? They didn't stop a fight between some other kids. What happened in the wake of those arrests would expose a juvenile justice system that was playing by its own rules. For years, this county had arrested and illegally jailed hundreds, maybe thousands, of children. Why was this happening – and what would it take to stop it? From Serial Productions and The New York Times, in partnership with ProPublica and Nashville Public Radio, “The Kids of Rutherford County” is hosted by Meribah Knight, a Peabody Award-winning reporter based in the South. The full four-part series is out now.
