We invite you to tune into UpstreamUD- a podcast hosted by The Brook Center. This show highlights local, state, and national voices discussing the complexities of being human. Join us as, together, we tackle social issues, cultural movements, relationships and wellbeing in a way that showcases how we really are more alike than we are different. 

In  this episode we are joined by Ann Brandon who is currently the Director of Prevention at The Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence. Ms. Brandon was also involved in the beginning research of Green Dot Philosophy in Northern Kentucky. In the interview, Ms. Brandon shares what is happening throughout Ohio on local and state levels to prevent sexual violence. She reminds us the importance of intervening in instances of power-based personal violence, of learning about the experiences of those from different cultures and backgrounds, and how crucial self-care is every day!

The Brook Center values the uniqueness and diversity of all people. The goal of this podcast is to celebrate the wellbeing of all people and to create a space to learn and grow through conversations. We recognize that no one person is an expert on all things and that the people spotlighted on our episodes can only represent their own views and life experiences. We are grateful for the opportunity to create content where we can all engage in lifelong learning.
