Dose of Good

On this episode, I speak to Miss New Hampshire Emily Spencer about The Miss NH Scholarship Program and Miss America. I think a lot of people have misconceptions or old ideas about the Miss America Organization and don't know the positive impact they have on women. Hopefully, by listening to this episode you will learn about all the good they are doing to benefit women across the country. We also speak about Miss Inspiration an adaptive pageant that Emily started. Katelyn McKivergan is the current Miss Inspiration and I got to talk with her as well. I really enjoyed speaking with them both and hope you enjoy it as well.

Episode 12 features YouthWell NH. YouthWell supports our community as a funding source for existing programs, services and new initiatives that impact youth mental health in New Hampshire. Additionally, YouthWell will partner with and assist organizations to help make their mission a reality. We add our voices as advocates for effective and sustainable solutions to improve the mental health and well-being of our young people.

I found the conversation with Tricia and Beth to be very engaging. I think you will learn a lot from this episode including some staggering statistics on youth mental health. I hope that after listening you will check them out and support them.

Episode 11 features Connections Peer Support Center.
Established in 1993, Connections Peer Support Center is run by and for individuals with lived experience with mental health issues.
Connections is a place where we find acceptance and encouragement, a place where we do not experience the stigma, judgement, and limitation of being labelled “mentally ill” that we often encounter from others in our lives.
This is a place where both members and staff are able to give and receive support and to learn from each other’s lived experience with mental health challenges.

Episode 10 features The Londonderry Child Passenger Safety Program. My guest today is Vinny Curro, certified car seat technician and program co-founder.
The Londonderry Child Passenger Safety Program currently consists of Nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians who have completed a 32-hour course in the proper installation of child restraints from infants to young adults. The purpose of this program is to provide guidance, information, and instruction with the installation of child restraints (car seats) into a motor vehicle, to the citizens of Londonderry and the surrounding communities.
If you have a child in a car seat it is a good idea to have your seat inspected by a certified technician.

Episode 8 features New England Donor Services.
New England Donor Services (NEDS) coordinates organ and tissue donation in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, the eastern counties of Vermont and Bermuda. Through its federally designated organ procurement organization, New England Organ Bank (NEOB), and its centralized tissue donation services operation, NEDS serves thousands of donor families each year who have generously made the choice to donate and honors the decision of those who registered as donors and gave the gift of life.
This episode is particularly special and important for me as I have a close family member who is an organ donation recipient.
I hope after having heard this episode you will have learned a lot, feel inspired, and register to be an organ donor if you are not already.
