Agreeing With God

From PTSD to Post Traumatic Growth.  Lenora interviews Ken Falke, 21 year Navy veteran, entrepreneur, co-author of Struggle Well and founder of Bouldercrest.org.  Many are familiar with PTSD and the intense challenges that can follow the aftermath of trauma but too few know of the hope that can be found in Post Traumatic Growth. 

After extensive research and disappointing data on the mental health treatments for PTSD, Ken came upon the research of Dr. Rich Tadeschi and Post Traumatic Growth. From there he began a partnership to document and scale what has been discovered through those who've gone on to thrive after trauma.

Boulder Crest foundation locations in Virginia and Arizona have been the proving ground to test and improve the program and now Boulder Crest Institute can equip others in the methodology to scale this effective program to countless other locations.

The interview and conversation is honest and brings awareness to the low percentage of success until this proven program approach.  You'll want to get the book "Struggle Well" and share this information with veterans and first responders struggling with PTS or PTSD.

Visit Bouldercrest.org for more information and to discover new hope for a future where individuals and their families can learn to thrive after trauma.

This podcast and video was recorded under the former podcast name "3Ps In A Pod" Episode 10, a podcast hosted by Lenora, daughter of a Korean War veteran and program Director for youth and veterans at a Fortune 500 company.

Pathways: Supporting Girls Aging Out of Foster Care
Many are looking for practical ways to help young people with need. Lenora interviews Dr Natalie Ellington Founder & Executive Director, Eileen & Callie’s Place, an organization that supports girls who are aging out of the foster care system and an annual "Celebrate 18" event.   Contact Info:  Email: [email protected] Website: EileenandCalliesPlace.org  
 
They discuss some of the reasons for and struggles that come from foster care.  

• 23,000 age out annually (Nat’l Foster Institute)

What girls face when they age out:

• 24% will graduate high school (Ed Week) 
• 1 in 5 will become homeless (Nat’l Conference of State Legislatures)
• Only ½ will be employed by age of 24 (Annie Casey Foundation)
• 71% will become pregnant by 21 (Nat’l Foster Institute)  
• Many never received counseling until adults 

Extended care available in some states through 21 providing various services  

How does Eileen and Callie's place help them?

• Relationship 
• Mentoring
• Connecting them with resources  
• Celebrate 18: a major annual birthday event which, for some, is the first time a birthday is celebrated.

Each girl/story is different. Listen!  They haven’t been heard; listen to understand.

What do foster kids need most?

• Trusted adult – Social support (family connections)
• Housing; basic needs
• Jobs; internships
• Education
• Medical needs, including mental health

How can others get involved?
Eileenandcalliesplace.org ; In-Kind and capacity building assistance (web site; social media; financial; Celebrate 18)

• Treehouse – volunteer, host an event, advocate 
• Mockingbird Society – foster parents

Supporting a foster child and those who age out can change a life.  It can also be one of the most satisfying ways to bless someone else's life.

3Ps In A Pod is about discovering purpose, connecting pathways and sharing perspectives.  I have been working with connecting young people to opportunities for over 10 years now and it's allowed me to see a whole lot, learn about what I think are disconnections within education and the workforce, and disconnections with individuals knowing about opportunities.  I think there's a lot of ways we  can help solve those disconnections. 

Purpose: I grew up not really having any idea of what my talents were and pretty insecure about really having any. It turns out that a lot of things you may take for granted about yourself,  are the very talents you've been given. If you invest in your talents, they become skills and lo and behold, you can do things for a living that you're actually kind of naturally wired for.

I knew some things I wanted to do but didn't really believe I could do them, but I could.  So I want to help young people find out what their talents are, a bit about their own purpose and enjoy the pathway. 

Pathways: When you think about pathways, you may not have a very good idea of what the options even are. So it's hard to know what the heck you want to do if you don't even realize what's possible. So at different times in this podcast, different episodes, I want to share, various pathways. Sometimes there'll be interviews with people from different industries or different organizations and you'll get to learn about those. 

Perspectives: Then there's perspectives. That's a favorite topic of mine and a favorite word of mine lately, because boy, it's a time to be learning. It's a time to be listening to new perspectives right now in our world. A perspective is a point that you're viewing from, how you're seeing something, the angle you see it from.  However I grew up or however you grew up that became your "normal."  How we learn is kind of, line by line precept upon precept. We build experience. 

The downside of that is that you can lock in so strongly to the way you learn something or what you now have accepted as reality that you no longer see other options. That's the downside of  a single perspective.  

I share a bit of what I learned while volunteering in jails and prisons for five years.

I realized  each one of us have filters on how we hear. We have filters in how we think and when we say something, we assume everyone hears it like we mean it.  We assume, somehow, that others have the same perspective that I do. 

It's powerful to listen. It's powerful to learn, to see from someone else's perspective. In future episodes we'll have conversations and share stories and touch more on that. I just think it's too important not to include. 

Please click subscribe and give me feedback. Tell me what you want to hear about.  You have more potential in you than you've ever thought possible. Invest in yourself.
