Podcasts about social service

I think it is part of getting older that you start to think of your past not as one singular life, but a series of lives that have culminated into wherever you are at the moment. The passage of time allows for that perspective, but I suppose a five year old is going to think in similar terms of where did the time go, it was just yesterday that I was four (which in fact, it was). We all go through episodes and identities and phases, which can involve different outfits and hats and accessories. It can be a fun ride. Perhaps in a sense reincarnation isn't about coming back from a previous life in a literal sense, but how we evolve in this one. In one of my past lives, I worked at United Way Community Services. For those not familiar, United Way serves as a conduit to disseminate funds to partner social service agencies. I was doing research in the Research and Data Services division. It was a good way to be introduced to the world of social services and non-profits, developing a deep appreciation for their work and the challenges associated with their work. The degree to which it is challenging is proportionate to how vital it is. In the land of profit-margins and mass consumption, social services are often misunderstood and ignored (except by those who need their work). My guest today on Experience by Design describes herself as a “pissed-off optimist.” You have to be both to do the work that she does at Greater Good Studios. Sara Cantor went to graduate school for human-centered design, then applying her skills and passion in retail spaces. Further work with major corporations left her wanting to do more and have a greater impact. This led her to co-found “a design firm dedicated to the social sector.” Rather than moving product, their goal is to build “a more equitable society” through work that is “more inclusive, innovative, and impactful.” We talk about her journey to the work that speaks her passion today. She recalls transitioning from engineering into design. Sara describes her work in projects like creating marketing materials for maternal and infant mortality prevention programs. She talks about the importance of involving those directly impacted by social services in the design and decision-making processes. She shares her experience working to develop initiatives aimed at increasing homeownership for families that were traditionally locked out. We also discuss designers as social justice catalysts, addressing social injustice, channeling anger productively, and motivating positive change.  And I have to say this is a very motivational conversation about what can be accomplished through good design.

For more than six decades, Sandra Sokol has devoted her life to building stronger, more equitable communities. Although she once imagined a career teaching in schools serving children of color her path evolved into groundbreaking volunteer and public service work focused on education, housing, and economic development. Many of the initiatives she helped launch grew into lasting organizations that continue to serve their communities today. Her leadership eventually carried her into local government, where she became a powerful advocate for collaboration, justice, and community-building. Now, in what she calls her “return to volunteering,” Sandra remains deeply engaged in advancing equity and opportunity for all. At 84, she reflects on a lifetime of service shaped by one enduring belief: meaningful change happens when people work together for the common good.“I learned to think holistically about people and community—about education, housing, economic development—issues that concern all of us.” - Sandra SokolConnect with Sandra:Email: sandrasokol@sbcglobal.netShining the Light on Age-Wise Collective, a group of women podcasters championing pro-aging voices.

According to a report published by the University of NSW and the Australian Council of Social Service, in the years of 2022 - 2023, 14.2% of Australians were living below the poverty line. That is approximately 3.7 million people, including 757,000 children, who lack the financial means to afford what we consider basic human needs such as food, shelter, healthcare, and clothing.Despite reductions in unemployment numbers from 2017 - 2023, the poverty rate actually increased, and there is no question that things are going to keep getting tougher for the most vulnerable in our society as people struggle to make ends meet. For those within this 14.2%, individuals and families, who are unable to adequately support themselves despite receiving government assistance, might wonder, “Where is God in all this? Does God not care for the poor and the oppressed?”A message by David B

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most generous thing you could do for every relationship in your life is to come back to yourself first? This week I'm joined by Karen Green, therapist, professor, and creator of Conscious Care Cards, for a deeply honest conversation about attachment wounds, nervous system regulation, and why healing yourself changes everything around you.Karen has spent her career working with families, and what she keeps finding is the same truth at the centre of it all;  that the quality of your inner world determines the quality of every relationship you have. And that it is never too late to do that work.In this episode, we talk about:Why attachment trauma is not a private family issue but a public health issue and why it starts with youThe fractures we carry from childhood and how they quietly shape every relationship we step into as adultsWhy one attuned, present relationship can rewire everything — and why it is never too late to experience thatThe neurobiology of "we": how a regulated nervous system is the foundation of every authentic connectionMoving from sympathetic chaos to parasympathetic presence and why connection simply cannot happen in survival modeReparenting yourself: meeting your own unmet needs so you can stop running on emptyWhy your triggers are not problems to fix but invitations to finally tend to the part of you that was never heldThe research-backed truth that one person, even for 45 minutes, can change the trajectory of a lifeKaren's work is a quiet reminder that showing up whole for the people you love begins with showing up whole for yourself and that the path back is simpler than you think.Karen A.

When Artificial Intelligence enters social work conversations, we often rush to warn colleagues about the potential harm it could cause—almost as if we're trying to protect the profession from an existential threat. This podcast, featuring Dr. Lauri Goldkind, Professor at Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Service and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Technology in Human Services, invites us to face the reality that technology and social work must work together—leveraging strengths, reducing harm, and staying open to new possibilities. There's no going back. So, what will the future hold? Dr. Goldkind discusses this with our host, social worker Lorrie Appleton.

Preaching for Palm Sunday, Anne Arabome, SSS offers a reflection on what makes Holy Week holy: "The holiness of Holy Week is in our story, writ large in the passion and triumph of Jesus of Nazareth. This week calls us to focus our gaze on Jesus and to follow him closely along the way. If we do so, we discover an immense treasure: a life of total self-giving that trumps selfishness; a gift of self-sacrificing love for the weakest and most vulnerable among us; a fullness of life that neither death nor despair can threaten, steal, or destroy."Sister Anne Arabome, SSS, is a member of the Sisters of Social Service in Los Angeles, California. She has served as the Associate Director of the Faber Center for Ignatian Spirituality at Marquette University and recently founded the Sophia Institute for Theological Studies and Spiritual Formation in Namibia. She holds a PhD in Systematic Theology from the University of Roehampton, UK, and a Doctor of Ministry in Spirituality from Catholic Theological Union in Chicago.Visit www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preaching/04132025 to learn more about Anne, to read her preaching text, and for more preaching from Catholic women.
