"Even if things have happened like this to your child, the adult was doing what they were trained to do; what they were told to do; what they believed they needed to do. And quite frankly, if you don't know another solution, it just doesn't exist." Join Rebecca and Ginger as they sit down with Guy Stephens, the founder and executive director of the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint (AASR). Today we talk about doing exactly what the title says: eliminating all use of restraint, seclusion, suspension, expulsion, & corporal punishment in schools. Do you find yourself frowning and/or questioning a little about this idea? Then this episode is for you! AASR is a non-profit community of over 25,000 parents, self-advocates, teachers, school administrators, paraprofessionals, attorneys, related service providers, and others working together to influence change in supporting children whose behaviors are often misunderstood. Guy Stephens is a national expert on the issue of restraint and seclusion.  If you like this episode and the whole resilience-building conversation, be sure to join us at Bridging to Resilience 2023: ⁠https://www.essdack.org/b2r23⁠ And you can always learn more about the work that Rebecca, Ginger, and the whole ESSDACK Resilience Team does over at ⁠https://www.essdack.org/resilience⁠

Rebecca and Ginger sit down with two beautiful heart-based human beings, Jade Jones and Kathryn Julian from the Indiana Department of Child Services. As education consultants with INDCS, they get the honor to walk alongside youth in foster care, ensuring these kids are not lost in the cracks of the system. They advocate and educate and we are lucky enough to be gifted some of their time and wisdom in this podcast. They speak justice over equity and talk about spending the time it takes to make that difference. Listen in to hear how Indiana is leading the charge in taking care of our vulnerable kids in foster care and capping off the school-to-prison pipeline. You can learn more about them, their program, and their colleagues at: https://www.in.gov/dcs/ If you like this episode and the whole resilience-building conversation, be sure to join us at Bridging to Resilience 2023: https://www.essdack.org/b2r23 And you can always learn more about the work that Rebecca, Ginger, and the whole ESSDACK Resilience Team does over at https://www.essdack.org/resilience
