Talking With A Supportive HomeSafe: Preventing, Protecting, and Preparing
It can be tough to find organizations that are able to support families from pregnancy through adulthood, but HomeSafe is one of those organizations.
Today, we talk with Fernanda Martinez Gonzalez, an Outreach Educator with HomeSafe. We went over the various programs the nonprofit offers, the outreach it does (through staff like Fernanda) in all areas of Palm Beach County, and how collaboration between agencies leads to positive outcomes for families and organizations alike.
If you are in Palm Beach County and need assistance (or know a family that needs assistance) regarding situations such as: pregnancy to early intervention; recently turned 18 and aged out of foster care; you're looking for a safe place from DV, or are simply looking for family resources, HomeSafe can be reached at this number: 561-383-9871.

The United States of Autism: An Epidemic of Fear
In light of recent events that have shaken the autism and autistic communities, along with an onslaught of false information regarding autism, I decided to record this episode. I had no outline, no real plan, only real emotions, thoughts, and data. There is no music, and the only editing I did was to cut out pauses and redundant words (stutters, repeats, etc.). I wanted this episode to be raw and honest.
The past two weeks have been a brutal wake up call for anyone thinking that maybe, just maybe, progress was being made in autism awareness and acceptance. I myself am included in this. We do not have time to rant and rage, however. We must work to counter the one emotion that is at the heart of not just this enhanced campaign against neurodivergence and autism, but in every campaign against everyone seen as the "other."
Fear.
