The Shift: Voices of Prevention — A podcast by Prevent Child Abuse America – Details, episodes & analysis

In this powerful episode of The Shift: Voices of Prevention, Prevent Child Abuse America’s leadership team—Dr. Melissa Merrick (President & CEO), Dr. Bart Klika (Chief Research Officer), and Jennifer Jones (Chief Strategy Officer)—come together to reflect on a pivotal moment for the prevention movement.

With candor and urgency, they explore what it means to lead at the intersection of equity, innovation, and community wisdom. From reimagining systems to centering lived experience, this conversation offers a compelling look at the future we’re building—one rooted in connection, courage, and collective action.

This is more than strategy—it’s a call to rise to the moment, together.

In this episode of The Shift: Voices of Prevention, we sit down with Jessica Moyer, Senior Principal Strategist at the FrameWorks Institute, to explore what it truly means to reframe how we support children and families.

Jessica takes us beyond the surface of policy and practice into the deeper cultural narratives that shape our systems—examining how reactive, individualistic approaches can be transformed into proactive, community-rooted solutions. She shares powerful insights on the role of language, equity, and storytelling in shaping a prevention-first future.

From embedding family voice in policy to building grassroots partnerships that shift mindsets, this episode is a call to lead with trust, curiosity, and collective care. Whether you’re a practitioner, policymaker, or advocate, you’ll walk away with renewed clarity and purpose.
