No More Silence

About No More Silence

No More Silence is a podcast dedicated to bringing an end to youth violence in Toledo. This is a youth-led podcast bringing high school & university students together with community leaders and experts to learn about the complex causes of youth violence. Experts will discuss initiatives in the city, trauma-informed communities, building opportunity networks, the courage required of non-violence, and much more. The podcast will bring to light youth experiences that stay hidden to the general community. Adults and youth will also share poetry considering the impact of adultism, which is an adult bias against youth. No More Silence is the result of the Ram Empowerment Project and Fearless Writers – two local programs fostering youth-led activism and knowledge creation. Have Questions?

   Trauma-Informed Care Environments

   This episode will focus on imagining mezzo and macro trauma-informed care environments. As we have learned from previous episodes of No More Silence, the causes of trauma and healing from trauma can be complex and multifaceted. The following students are mental health professionals in training who are committed to not just treating behavior symptoms but get to the root of mental health concerns. These students want to be the seeds in their community that support resilience and nurture agencies and community cultures of healing.

   Finding Resources and Supports in Uncertain Times

   In this episode, we will be listening to the experiences of Bonnie Lynch from the University of Toledo admissions office and current students at Rogers High School. Fearless Writers students were asked what topics they would like to learn more about based on the first season of No More Silence. A ballot was created from this brainstorming list and the students voted for their favorite topic which was what to do in uncertain times.

   High School Social Media Takeover

   As we learned in Season 1, social media plays a part in encouraging youth violence but also has the potential to prevent youth violence. For this episode, youth writers from Fearless Writers imagine what it would be like for high school students from all over the world to take over social media for a day and banish harshness, judgement, and negativity.
