Coriena's journey begins with a mother's fierce devotion to her son—a love strong enough to risk everything. When faced with a dangerous and volatile situation, Coriena made one of the most difficult decisions of her life—she took her son and fled. With no time to plan and nowhere to go, Coriena chose safety over certainty, even if it meant homelessness. In this episode, Coriena shares her journey toward stability, healing, and hope. We also hear from Stephanie Roberts, Program Manager of Outreach and Rapid Response, who speaks to the critical importance of community collaboration in addressing Oklahoma City's unhoused population—and the resources needed to ensure long-term success.To learn more about Oklahoma City's Key to Home program, visit okc.gov/government/key-to-home.

Kingston, like cities across the country, is in a housing and affordability crisis that is compounded by insufficient addiction and mental health supports. These realities continue to put strain on the emergency shelter, transitional and supportive housing systems. These systems are part of the housing continuum, a conceptual framework that spans everything from emergency shelters to market housing. And to help us understand how the continuum guides supports and programs in the community, Jayne Hartley, Director of Housing and Social Services joins the podcast in the first of a series of conversations about municipal housing initiatives.  To learn more about how the City of Kingston is expanding housing options and working to improve service to people who are unhoused or precariously housed, visit our Strategic Priorities page. To find a list of housing programs, visit CityofKingston.ca/Housing.  Home Base Housing's Street Outreach team monitors homeless individuals.

Today, we're talking with Andrea Clevenger, Community Response Team Case Manager for Mental Health Association Oklahoma.    Andrea started with the agency as a Peer Recovery Support Specialist on the original Street Outreach team nearly two years ago before being promoted to Case Manager on our Community Response team – a partnership with the City of Oklahoma City. Both teams are critical components to ending homelessness in our state.    She, herself, experienced homelessness for many years as she struggled with myriad addictions, which, along with an unwavering commitment to service, contributes to her professional success. It was an honor to talk in-depth with Andrea about her journey of housing, healing and wholeness, and to learn about the mottos that guide her – and in turn, guide her clients.  We are grateful to have Andrea on, today, as she shares her story with us. She is brave. She is genuine. She is a joy to share space with. She referenced her friend who works at 988, and we'd be remiss not to remind the listeners that 988 is a free resource staffed with mental health experts who can assist you or someone you know with a mental health crisis. It's mental health's version of 911. They can be reached 24/7 by calling or texting 988. Additionally, if you are in a non-emergent situation and you need assistance finding mental health care or substance use treatment, you can call our Mental Health Assistance Center at 918.585.1213 or 405.943.3700 Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5pm or complete the form on our website at www.mhaok.org.  

Today, we're talking with Kellie Gregory, Program Manager for our Tulsa Street Outreach team.  Kellie was born into instability, with a mom and stepfather who battled drug addiction and were in and out of prison. She was a teen mom who went on to spend twenty-two years struggling with homelessness, addiction and the carceral system herself, before entering Women in Recovery.    Kellie's story is one of both grit and grace, and it allows her to connect with the people she serves every day. She has source value from her lived experience and uses it to help others in need.   This conversation with Kellie shines a spotlight on how effective diversion programs and support systems are, and we are grateful for her coming on. In the conversation, she referenced sourcing donations for individuals coming out of homelessness. If you would like to help, please email donations@mhaok.org. If you see someone experiencing homelessness, let us know via the Street Outreach and Rapid Response page of our website: www.mhaok.org, and if you or someone you know needs substance use or mental health care resources, give us a call at 918.585.1213 or 405.943.3700, or again, let us know via our website at www.mhaok.org.  

Today, we're talking with Shay Seals, Service Coordinator for MHAOK's Long Term Supportive Housing program in Oklahoma City.  Shay recently celebrated her one-year anniversary with the Association after two bouts of homelessness and the realization that she wanted a more meaningful career.   She and her young daughter spent too many months living out of her car (before a willful surrender), shelters and motels when she had the money. Shay's story highlights the importance of financial management education and how so many people are only a paycheck or two away from homelessness  Her story also shows how honest self-reflection, hard work, and most importantly, a solid support system, is integral to rebuilding your life.  Her demeanor is grounding, her outlook inspiring. We really appreciate how Shay uses her experiences for the benefit of others – both in her openness here and in the work she does every day. If you see someone experiencing homelessness, you let us know via the Street Outreach and Rapid Response page of our website: www.mhaok.org. 

Today, Rabbi Joshua spends a few minutes talking with some members of the Street Outreach and Housing team to find out the latest goings on. We hear about increasing numbers of families without homes, people starting to suffer from the cold, and, in some positive news, how there are new permanent supporting housing units becoming available.

Today, we're talking with Stephanie Newman, Street Outreach and Rapid Response Case Manager for Mental Health Association Oklahoma. Stephanie Newman is a native Oklahoman who, in childhood, experienced a sexual trauma that went unaddressed, resulting in a crescendo-like progression of events that ultimately culminated in the loss of her children, her home, her dignity. Humanity stepped in, knowing that everyone has value and possibility, and took a chance on her. Now, two decades later, she's celebrating sixteen years of recovery and continuing her sixth year of employment with Mental Health Association Oklahoma. We are grateful to have Stephanie on, today, as she shares her story with us. It's important to note that this conversation touches on sexual trauma and loss.

Laugh Long and Prosper- Comedy, Charity and City Street Outreach Hey there, I'm Judy Croon Canada's keynote humourist Welcome to another episode of Laugh Long and Prosper -shelf help with a dash of humour. Voted one of the best podcasts in Canada last year by CTV.

YOU MUST ADOPT THE RIGHT MINDSET- Steer your ship to the SS Optimization & TROOL Social To get you Sailing On Course Check out www.TroolSocial.com So, as you might know by now, my motto is Laugh Long and Prosper. I believe that humour is one of our best coping mechanisms, especially when we are facing stress. Along with humour, I think Charity is massive. Charity and humour do the same thing – they make us feel good. They make others feel good. They allow us an opportunity to give back. They are both essential. As we embark on a new year, I want to talk about a charity that I have been involved in for the past 7 years. This is a local Toronto based group called City Street Outreach.

This episode of “Team Doney Coe—Helping Pets and their People” features Sarah Vanston, MD, site medical director for Neighborcare Health's Pike Place Market clinic and Housing and Street Outreach programs. Dr. Sarah is instrumental in helping with the “people” part of “pets and their people” as now pet parents can receive behavioral and physical health support through Team Doney Coe. So often people who are struggling will take care of their pets first, but at their own expense. This part of Team Doney Coe's program is meant to insure that people are also getting the help and support they need. In helping people be better and be well it is helping pets too. It has been wonderful to watch the growth of Doney Coe's outreach and see it continue to benefit more and more people and pets in our community. And we are glad “The Doctor is IN”.

Eric Johnson is the Coordinator for Navigator Street Outreach. He says this summer has been the worst yet for unhoused people, and a lot of it points to the housing crisis.

On today's 51%, we begin a two-part series on human trafficking and unhoused youth. I ride along with a street outreach coordinator for a youth shelter. And we'll meet a woman who has walked the Underground Railroad to raise awareness about human trafficking. Bri Phillips is the street outreach program manager for CAPTAIN Community Human Services based in Saratoga County, New York. CAPTAIN has programs to address youth homelessness, poverty, hunger, family dysfunction, and human trafficking. Phillips reaches out to people on the street who are homeless or in danger of being trafficked. We met up in Clifton Park for a ride-along in one of the Street Outreach vans. The back space is stocked with labeled plastic bins and drawers full of food, clothes, and hygiene kits. “We are known as the boots on the ground of this organization,” Phillips said. “If people say, you know, where is your street outreach team? The answer is, I may not know at this moment, because they’re meeting the needs of the community. The van that we’re riding in right now, is so important, because it actually is stocked with Wi-Fi in the back. We have clothing, we have food, we have resources and referrals. And so our goal is that by having our phones on us, we go and meet the needs of clients right where they’re at.” (more…)

There has always been a big debate that our country doesn't do enough to help felons rehabilitate and re-emerge back to workforce as contributors to society. While the government doesn't do enough, employers are very bias and are more at fault for not helping them back to working society.  This podcast looks at the value employers can have in stopping the cycle of violence and reducing crime by giving felons a second chance. How did this topic come about?ChicagoCred - Reducing gun violence by working with previous felons through Street Outreach, Coaching & Counseling, Workforce Development, and Advocacy & Prevention we lift young men and rally neighborhoods to dramatically rewrite the story of gun violence in Chicago. http://www.chicagocred.orgI was scammed - guy scams me out of free services, marketing, time, and publicity by faking his story.  Not all felons are bad.  But people lie to get what they want so be careful and alert. Special Guest - Sharon Rodriguez - HR Professional, Organizational LeaderThings to know when talking about your backgroundThings for companies to consider when looking at a felon Special Guest - Sharon Rodriguez https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonmrodriguez/ sharon@rightsolutionsinc.net Sharon is an amazing HR leader with an extensive background in helping companies with HR initiatives and doing the right things for their employees SOCIAL MEDIAL AND CONTACT INFO michael@michaelglinter.com (Email)https://www.michaelglinter.com/podcast-1 (Podcast) http://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelglinter2 (Linked In)#MichaelAGlinter (Twitter)http://www.facebook.com/michael.glinter (Facebook)https://www.youtube.com/c/MichaelGlinter (YouTube)www.michaelglinter.com (Website)

Host Tom Ficklin talks with Leonard Jahad, Dougie Bethea, and Pepe Vega about "Street Outreach".

Jonathan Lunde is a Streetworker at UTEC. What is UTEC? Founded in 1999 and based in Lowell, "UTEC's mission and promise is to ignite and nurture the ambition of proven-risk youth to trade violence and poverty for social and economic success." UTEC was also highlighted in the National Institute of Justice's 2016 environmental scan of agencies working with justice-involved young adults.  What is a Streetworker? What does Jonathan do at UTEC?  Street Outreach and Gang Peacemaking* ensure that Streetworkers meet young people "where they're at" and serve as the starting point of UTEC's program model.  Streetworkers target those young people who are most disengaged and deeply involved in local youth gang networks. This recruitment and relationship-building work sets the stage for Streetworkers to conduct UTEC's gang peacemaking work and to bring disconnected youth through the doors.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/support

Tuesday September 1st, 2015  at the 7 o'clock hour Reverend Charles R. Harrison - Barnes United Methodist Church - Senior Pastor · Indianapolis, Indiana Ten Point Coalition, Indianapolis, IN 81 people murdered so far in 2015 in Indianapolis - Why? Ten Point Coalition: VISION: The Vision of the Indianapolis Ten Point Coalition is to be a catalyst for creating a strategic vision, programmatic structure, and financial resources necessary to save lives of at risk youth from crisis such as violence, drugs, teen-age pregnancy, and chronic unemployment. TARGET The target are youth 14-24 years of age in selected "hot spots" or high at risk areas. These areas have been deemed "high risk" due to the number of homicides that occur in the area. METHOD Method is to engage high risk youth, drug dealers, and gang bangers in order to encourage them to leave a life of crime and violence and make healthier life choices. We do this by employing Street Outreach workers who engage these high risk individuals in a variety of venues including faith walks, homicide scenes, and funerals. http://www.indytenpoint.com/ Tuesday September 1st, 2015  at the 8 o'clock hour Pastor Denell Howard Hovey Street Church Of Christ, Indianapolis, Indiana The Black Male Initiative is not just a moment, it's a movement.

On today's 51%, we begin a two-part series on human trafficking and unhoused youth. I ride along with a street outreach coordinator for a youth shelter. And we'll meet a woman who has walked the Underground Railroad to raise awareness about human trafficking. Bri Phillips is the street outreach program manager for CAPTAIN Community Human Services based in Saratoga County, New York. CAPTAIN has programs to address youth homelessness, poverty, hunger, family dysfunction, and human trafficking. Phillips reaches out to people on the street who are homeless or in danger of being trafficked. We met up in Clifton Park for a ride-along in one of the Street Outreach vans. The back space is stocked with labeled plastic bins and drawers full of food, clothes, and hygiene kits. “We are known as the boots on the ground of this organization,” Phillips said. “If people say, you know, where is your street outreach team? The answer is, I may not know at this moment, because they're meeting the needs of the community. The van that we're riding in right now, is so important, because it actually is stocked with Wi-Fi in the back. We have clothing, we have food, we have resources and referrals. And so our goal is that by having our phones on us, we go and meet the needs of clients right where they're at."
