In this episode, Hillary sits down with Dr. Dan Gowdy (President & CEO of Wedgwood Christian Services) and Jessica Knoth (Principal of Zeeland East High School) to discuss the latest research on child well-being in Michigan and what it means for kids and families.

They unpack the mental health challenges youth are facing, the crucial role schools play in support, and why listening and mentoring can make all the difference. Together, they highlight the power of community collaboration and share reasons to stay hopeful about the future.

If you care about supporting kids and want a deeper understanding of both the needs and the possibilities ahead, this conversation offers insight and encouragement!
