Tales From the Collaborative episodes

  • Dr. DeLacy Davis

    Dr. Delacy Davis is the Executive Director for the Family Support Organizaton of Union County in Plainfield, NJ, and he serves as Ex Dir for the NJ Alliance of Family Support Organizations. He's a researcher, writer and speaker -- notably to many of our listeners, having delivered the keynote address at the 2021 TCOM Conference. Conference attendees will also recognize him for leading conversations in breakout sessions during subsequent conferences.

    I can't recommend highly enough Dr. Davis's interview with host Kristen Cerelli on TCOM's companion podcast, Shift Shift Bloom, available wherever you listen to podcasts. in which Dr. Davis talks at length about his education and career, sharing the challenges, surprises and pivots in his life, that have led him to where he sits today.

    TCOM champion Kathy Gracey is an assistant professor in clinical research at Vanderbilt university in Nashville. Prior to joining the faculty at Vandy, Kathy served as director of school-based counseling programs for the city. She took that one small program and grew it to serve 38 schools currently. And the critical factor in that build-out, as Kathy explains in this podcast, was the integration of TCOM tools into the programs and systems that provide helping services to children and families in metropolitan Nashville.
