The Abbie DeLoach Foundation awarded scholarships to 17 students and organizations at its 7th annual scholarship class luncheon held on April 14th. The event celebrated academic excellence, exemplary service work, or athletic commitment. Among the recipients were two Cobb County students: Jaden Saunders, a college sophomore who graduated from Allatoona and is a golfer at Savannah State University, and Maddie Black, a Georgia Southern Nursing student who graduated from Harrison, is planning to become a CRNA and is a member of Kappa Delta sorority. The foundation was established in memory of Abbie DeLoach, who died in a tragic highway crash in April 2015, along with four fellow nursing students. The foundation's mission is to continue her good works, and 106 recipients have received ADF scholarships to date. Marietta City Council has discussed its zoning code for the first time since the implementation of a six-month freeze on apartment applications. The council voted 6-1 to approve the freeze, concerned about the number of developers proposing multifamily buildings in the area. City staff have been directed to present maps and ordinances showing what the “current lay of the land is,” before conducting a study examining the zoning code and its relationship to apartments. Mayor Steve Tumlin and the council have rejected many apartment proposals, favoring low-density, owner-occupied development, citing concerns such as crime and a lack of upkeep by landlords. Students at Marietta Middle School are participating in the Compost Connectors program, which teaches students about urban agriculture by having them collect food waste and turn it into compost. The program is run by Cobb Master Gardener Michelle Gambon, who volunteers with Food Well Alliance. Students use compost cranks to mix the compost and help break it down. Once it is no longer recognizable, it is used to enrich the school's garden. The goal of the program is to help students understand their role in building healthier communities by growing crops with compost. The program is in its second year of a three-year pilot and is hoping to expand to more schools. Georgia Bulldogs baseball Redshirt freshman and Walker School graduate Charlie Condon has been one of the top hitters in the country this season. He is hitting over .400 and has already hit 18 home runs. Condon's walk-up music is The Rolling Stones' classic "Paint It Black," which he said is a fun song that gets him in the right mindset. He said it is a song that his teammates and the fans enjoy. His teammates and Dawg baseball fans probably enjoy it a little more because the song means their star slugger is at the plate. Condon has noted that the level of competition he is facing is definitely higher than what he saw in high school, but he has been able to adjust to the much more challenging pitching he is facing in the SEC, crediting the competition for improving his game. He has spent much of the past two years working on his body to add muscle to his tall and lean frame. The 45th annual Possum Trot 10K will be held on June 17 at the Chattahoochee Nature Center in Roswell. The event allows runners to race along the Chattahoochee River and supports the center's environmental education programs and wildlife rehabilitation efforts. Participants can choose between an in-person or virtual 10K and Fun Run, with all runners receiving free photos and a commemorative t-shirt, and 10K runners receiving a finisher medal. The race is also a Peachtree Road Race qualifier for 2024. The CNC's work helps over 700 injured animals annually and hosts 40,000 students each year for environmental education programs. Kennesaw State University's Executive Master of Business Administration has been ranked as the best in Georgia and among the top in the world for the seventh consecutive year, according to CEO Magazine's 2023 Global Executive MBA rankings.

In this episode, Scott discusses his beginnings as a family therapist and his struggles with helping families, which lead him to working with Charles Fishman, MD, an expert in Structural Family Therapy, and later Jay Haley. He discussed reviewing videotapes of their work and began to see the patterns in family therapy and got interested in process analysis research. He noticed that there were "key moments of change”, which lead him to create micro steps to help therapists develop their family therapy skills quickly, to be effective in treatment. We discussed his early work with families and teens and all the great, creative, strategic ways of helping parents to manage behavioral issues, and strengthen their relationships. He explained that he was able to do research on the approach about its efficacy and evidence basis, and also included the measures to help organizations to support their staff to utilize the model, and use technology to track progress and intervene when a therapist might be struggling in certain areas. Some years later, as he was reviewing cases where there were treatment “failures”, he described that he found how, when there is trauma involved, the family began to stabilize and become closer, but then not achieve the second order change because the trauma's effect on the family system would become more apparent. He realized he did not have a model to address trauma, so he did the research trying to find an existing approach, but found there were no family therapy models with the micro steps to address trauma. He went on to write his most recent book, Treating the Traumatized Child, and teach it to clinicians and research its effectiveness, Scott discussed online trainings that he created to help make it available for therapists to gain the skills and utilize the methods in their practice. He shared that his work now is to help make family therapy accessible to organizations and clinics, so their clinicians can learn and use family therapy, without it needing to be a massive financial and time commitment as some of the other evidence based models. His hope is that this will reduce secondary trauma, and help with “the great resignation” of mental health workers that are burnt out, through increasing confidence and competency. Scott P. Sells, PhD, MSW, LCSW, LMFT, is former tenured Professor of Social Work, Savannah State University, Savannah, GA and Associate Professor at UNLV in Las Vegas, NV. He is the author of three best-selling books, Treating the Tough Adolescent: A Family-Based, Step-by-Step Guide (1998), Parenting Your Out-of-Control Teenager: 7 Steps to Reestablish Authority and Reclaim Love (2001), and Treating the Traumatized Child: A Step-by-Step Family Systems Approach (Springer, 2017).
