Sinopsis
Join Kristin as she speaks with Reed Connell, Executive Director, and Deanna Linville, Director of Clinical Programs, at A Home Within, which helps provide free therapy for current and previous foster youth. As Reed Connell states, A Home Within's therapists are all part of a 'community of hundreds of therapists nationwide who volunteer to provide one on one therapy to current and former foster youth for as long as necessary.' In this podcast, they explain their organization and discuss how they are personally and professionally navigating the use of their passion for helping foster youth receive stable and undisrupted therapy, therapy that they will not 'age-out' of. They explain how the organization also helps support the community of their therapists nationwide.Reed Connell, Executive Director of A Home Within, has spent nearly 20 years working in foster care, mental health, housing, and special education settings and has developed a sophisticated knowledge of childrenʼs programs and policy development.
