Why Are Pet-Friendly Domestic Violence Shelters Vital in NJ?

jeudi 3 octobre 2024 • Durée 29:47

97% of domestic violence survivors say that concern about leaving a pet was a factor in their decision to leave an abusive situation. Yet, only 17% of domestic violence shelters accept pets.

Emergency sheltering for victims of domestic violence is a critical need. Not everyone has access to the homes of family or friends as a means to find safety.

Not enough shelters in New Jersey allow pets. And that needs to change.

This is an issue the Community Foundation of New Jersey has leaned into thanks to a generous donor, Karen Lindemann, who left CFNJ a bequest that was designed to ensure that considerations around pets would not stop survivors from seeking help. In Karen’s memory, the Community Foundation has launched an ambitious goal to ensure that at least one domestic violence shelter in each of New Jersey’s 21 counties is outfitted to include survivors and their pets.

Why is maternal health in the US so bad – and what is being done about it here in NJ?

jeudi 5 septembre 2024 • Durée 22:47

The U.S. is ranked 64th in maternal mortality, putting us behind Russia, Tajikistan, and Albania, among others, and about tied with Iran. Maternal health statistics in New Jersey are also bleak. The state has the fourth highest maternal mortality rate out of the fifty states; only Indiana, Georgia and Louisiana have higher rates. And when looking at the demographic breakdown of the rates in New Jersey, Black women experience seven times the rate of death from pregnancy-associated causes compared to their white counterparts.

With guest Ria Rodney from NurtureNJ, we learn why, in a country that spends more on healthcare than any other, mothers are dying at rates unseen in other developed nations. She helps peel back the layers of this complex issue, why it disproportionately affects women of color, and what is being done about it here in New Jersey – and there are glimmers of hope.

Dialogue with Pastor Pam Jones, founder of Communities in Cooperation, advocate for fragile families and the justice-involved

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mercredi 12 avril 2023 • Durée 40:02

Pastor Pam is a force of nature and an advocate for building the resiliency of New Jersey’s youth, the justice-involved, the unemployed, the under-employed, and other underserved populations and fragile families. She founded Communities in Cooperation (CIC), an organization that strengthens communities through Family & Individual Assistance Programs, Job Readiness & Employment, Utility Assistance, Reentry Services, and youth mentoring. CIC has built a particularly strong platform of supporting prisoner re-entry into society, which Pastor Pam and host Aaron Turner discuss in detail.

Pastor Pam diagnoses the big challenges people in or emerging from the criminal justice system face (with some surprises) and the types of critical support they need to get back on their feet and living fulfilling and productive lives.

TBT: Are the kids alright? A look at teen mental health in NJ.

jeudi 1 août 2024 • Durée 31:45

In our first Throwback Thursday, we are re-posting our popular episode “Are the kids alright? A look at teen mental health in NJ.” Recent developments nationally and in Trenton point to the continued urgency around mental health for our teens. We invite you to listen (again).

Forty-two percent of New Jersey teens have reported feeling sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks in a row. Two-thirds of teens in the US who experience a mental health challenge don’t seek help. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among Americans between the ages of 15 and 19.

These alarming statics point to a real problem. In this episode, we hear from experts on what is driving this epidemic of worsening mental health, particularly among young people in New Jersey, what signals to look for, and what can be done to change course.

We discuss the topic in two parts. First with Robert Kley and Jaime Angelini, leaders from the ⁠Mental Health Association in New Jersey⁠ who share some of the foundational pieces around mental health for young people. We then hear from Jackie Looby from ⁠Cornerstone Family Programs⁠ for a deep-dive on an innovative, evidenced-based program called “Teen Mental Health First Aid.” Jackie is joined by Azaria and Andrea, New Jersey high schoolers who have been trained in Teen Mental Health First Aid and seen its impact on their peers. If you or someone you know is in crisis, contact the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling 988.

A closer look foster care in New Jersey

mercredi 29 mai 2024 • Durée 34:00

New Jersey has had a fraught history with foster care. Many of our listeners will remember the 2003 death of 7-year-old Faheem Williams due to neglect. His body was found in a locked basement in Newark alongside his two brothers who were starving but still alive.

This tragedy led to a large settlement garnering national attention. It also led to major structural and programmatic reforms, including an outside expert to monitor the state’s foster care reform efforts, a process that formally ended in March of this year.

As Lilo Stainton writes in NJ Spotlight: Two decades after the original settlement was crafted, New Jersey is considered a national leader in child welfare, according to some metrics, with a child protection system focused on keeping families safely together, whenever possible.

On today’s episode we have a conversation about the foster care system in New Jersey. We are joined by leaders from some of New Jersey’s most reputable organizations: Liza Kirschenbaum of CASA of NJ and Edith Fiato of Roots & Wings.

We cover the basics of foster care in the state (some of which will surprise you), what challenges the system continues to face, and how youth experiencing the system are faring.

Thanks for listening.

The loss of local news, its impacts and what to do about it

jeudi 11 avril 2024 • Durée 31:00

‘America has lost one-third of its newspapers and two-thirds of its newspaper journalists since 2005’, according to a Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism study.

At the current pace, the country is on track to have lost 3,000 newspapers in the last twenty years, with fewer than 6,000 remaining.

Beyond the obvious information vacuum and lost jobs, studies show that the decline in local news leads to increased political polarization, more political corruption, and a greater risk of misinformation filling the void.

To talk about these changes -- and ways we might reverse these trends in New Jersey -- we speak with Chris Daggett from the New Jersey Civic Information Consortium, which provides financial resources for local news and information providers, and Kenny Miles of the Trenton Journal, an independent platform that specifically addresses information gaps and amplifies voices in New Jersey’s capital city.

A Conversation on Human Trafficking in New Jersey

mercredi 15 novembre 2023 • Durée 45:53

We are switching things up a little for this episode. The Community Foundation of New Jersey has started a webinar series that brings in multiple experts for deep dive conversations on important topics. This webinar – presented here as a podcast – focuses on human trafficking, which is a problem globally and in New Jersey. The topic is both heartbreaking and incredibly complex, but our expert guests lay it out in understandable terms and provide guidance on how fundholders and citizens can engage. Some of the recommendations may surprise you. We were pleased to welcome leaders from the NJ Coalition Against Human Trafficking, the Sanar Institute, Covenant House New Jersey, and Legal Services of New Jersey, a collection of organizations committed to preventing trafficking and supporting survivors.

We hope you find this informative.

What’s Up (or Down) with literacy in New Jersey?

lundi 16 octobre 2023 • Durée 24:00

The drop in reading scores of US children post-COVID dominated the headlines in Summer 2023 – with reading scores down in nearly every state. Unfortunately, low reading scores pre-date the pandemic, owing to intractable challenges in too many communities. “Dire,” “jarring,” and “ominous” is how one report talks about reading proficiency in New Jersey. Only a little more than 40 percent of New Jersey third graders are reading at or above proficiency. In Newark, less than 20 percent or third graders are proficient. In Camden, it’s less than 7 percent. And African American, Hispanic and children from economically disadvantaged families experience particularly low proficiency on average.

In this episode, we unpack what’s driving these low reading levels, what the impacts are, and ways to address it. Paula White joins the pod. She is Executive Director of JerseyCAN, a leading educational and advocacy organization dedicated to ensuring that all New Jersey families have access to high-quality schools. Central to their mission is making sure that students get continuous support with appropriate resources and excellent teaching, regardless of their zip code, cultural background, or socioeconomic status.
Hope you enjoy!
