Luke Waldo, director of program design and community engagement at the Institute for Child and Family Well-Being<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe institute, a community partnership between Children\u2019s Wisconsin and the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare, is producing the podcast. The institute\u2019s mission is to improve the lives of children and families with complex challenges by implementing effective programs, conducting cutting-edge research, engaging communities and promoting systems change. Faculty and staff from both Helen Bader and Children\u2019s are involved in the institute\u2019s numerous projects and programs, and much of their work focuses on families who are at risk of entering the child welfare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Mersky, the podcast was the brainchild of Luke Waldo of Children\u2019s Wisconsin, who is the director of program design and community engagement at the institute. The idea behind the podcast was to support a broader initiative at Children\u2019s that focuses on reframing how we look at child neglect and leading the way toward discovering and developing new strategies to support families and address this complex social problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Podcasts address key issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The podcasts address a number of key issues, including the difficulty of defining and understanding what neglect is, how neglect affects families and why there are disparities in the child welfare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNeglect is intertwined with poverty in society, but the challenge is separating out the poverty from neglect,\u201d Mersky said. What\u2019s been observed for many years is that children and families of color, specifically Black and African American families, are disproportionately likely to be involved in the child welfare system, and there\u2019s a longstanding debate as to why that is, Mersky said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think that our partners at Children\u2019s are just deeply interested in figuring out how to better serve children and families in our community and to reduce the likelihood that they become involved in the child welfare system,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd if they do become involved in the child welfare system, wanting to reduce the likelihood that they will be placed in foster care or out-of-home care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nJoshua Mersky, 51ÁÔÆæ social work professor and founding co-director of the Institute for Child and Family Well-Being<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne reason for turning to a podcast is that people are more likely to listen than to read a report or brochure, Mersky said. The podcasts run from 45 to 90 minutes. \u201cSo, you can get much deeper into an issue. There are certain things you can accomplish in that space that you just can\u2019t in a newsletter or other media.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The podcast hosts discussions with 51ÁÔÆæ and Children\u2019s Wisconsin professionals, local and national experts, and people with lived experience, Waldo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving upstream with prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Another focus of the podcasts is looking at ways to strengthen families and prevent child abuse and neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most resources in the child welfare system are focused on what Mersky calls \u201cdownstream\u201d intervention, trying to help children who have been abused and neglected or exposed to significant adversity. \u201cThat\u2019s always going to be necessary for sure,\u201d Mersky said, \u201cbut I think we are particularly interested in moving further upstream to more primary or secondary prevention kinds of approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The institute is conducting research on a number of these approaches that have been shown to reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect, such as home visiting programs that provide services starting before or shortly after the birth of a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evaluating Wisconsin’s network of family resource centers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n One particular approach Mersky talked about in his segment of the podcast was evaluating the state\u2019s network of family resource centers. These are community hubs throughout the state that serve as one-stop-shops for families and provide a variety of services and support, based on what individual families need. That can include parenting education and skills classes, helping meet basic economic needs or \u201clight touch\u201d services like diaper or food banks, according to Mersky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These family resource centers can also link families to other resources in the community, he added. The centers are open to all families, with services tailored to family needs. For those families facing many complex challenges, the centers can provide help in coordinating care from organizations that support mental health, housing, substance abuse, domestic violence and other issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cOverloaded\u201d podcast is designed for those in health and human services, child welfare workers, program supervisors and administrators of community organizations serving families, teachers and school officials and others concerned about the issues, according to Mersky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, the podcasts have been well received, Mersky said, adding \u201cWe\u2019d love to get it out to a broader audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
