Resource Sessions: Legal and Resource Podcasts by Sterk Family Law Group, P.C.

Frustration. We’ve all dealt with it and some of us, more often than others. Life happens and frustration is a normal reaction to things that happen in life like waking up late, spilled coffee, kids arguing, co-workers, or just having one of those days. However, if your frustration lingers and starts to impact your daily life, it can become over-consuming and have a snowball effect. 

Guests Dr. Caitlin Suerth-Gulli and Monica Molesky, LCPC join us on our latest podcast to speak about frustration from a clinical standpoint and ways to identify signs that your frustration may be festering.  Sureth and Molesky also share some ways to cope with frustration through problem-solving and how to soften a situation. 

To connect with Dr. Suerth-Gulli or Monica Molesky, visit Systemic Wellness’ website at systemicwell.com or call 815-320-7123

Aside from the dissolution of a marriage through a divorce, one of the hardest things for a person to do is to also sell their home.

The divorce itself is an emotional process but to be faced with selling your home, for most, is an additional emotional process that is hard to cope with.

While some may tell you that a house is a material object, you have spent years living in the space and have created memories of all sorts.  It is important to remember that good memories are irreplaceable and as you move on with your life, and into a new place to live, you will have the opportunity to create new memories.

Our guest, Kathryn Hoffman, a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert, shares some insights about selling your home during a divorce, some hurdles, and how working with a professional who is trained to work with divorcing clients, can help ease the already stressful burden.  

To connect with Kathryn Hoffman, email [email protected] or call 630.915.6572

Since 2001, American Greyhound has been dedicated to finding homes for retired racing greyhounds, as well as other sighthounds in need.  Their volunteers welcome greyhounds and sighthounds when they have nowhere else to turn, provide the necessary veterinary care, teach them what it means to live in a home, and then find them good forever homes where they are able to live out their lives as wonderful pets. Whether you would like to volunteer, foster, or adopt, there are many ways to support their cause.

Their organization is quick to lend a helping hand to work with other non-profit rescue groups to help ensure these dogs are given a second chance at life and some of the dogs end up giving back to the community as well through programs like Greyt Readers. The Greyt Readers program brings the dogs into libraries to allow kids from all different reading levels to participate in the program, including some that have difficulties with reading, or who are not comfortable reading in front of adults, but have no issues with reading to the dogs.

Thank you to Nicole Graves, Foster Coordinator, of American Greyhound for taking the time to share the word about your non-profit and the ways that people can get involved!

Showcased as our April 2023 Non-Profit Hero, for over 30 years, Little City’s foster care and adoption program has provided innovative, individualized, and community-based treatment to children and their families.

Many youths referred to Little City are initially assessed as needing residential services, an intensive and restrictive congregate care placement that provides 24-hour day/7 day a week care. Little City's foster programs, services, staff, and families work together to divert youth from placement in residential settings and instead safely maintained in foster care.

Thank you, Emily Rawsky, LCSW, Chief Program Officer of Little City Foster Care, for speaking with us about Little City, the children, parents, and families your services support.

Little City also offers parent and family activities, support, and many events throughout the year. If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, or learning more about fostering, https://littlecity.org/programs/children/foster-care-adoption/
