Welcome Back, My Friend introduces our audience to the new podcast format for the REACH Fireside Chats. Episode one focuses on the concept of interagency collaboration that provides a high-level of supports to children and their families, allowing schools to focus on providing intellectually safe spaces mainly. Listeners hear the thoughts of educational leaders such as Dr. Bernard Gassaway, Dr. Karren Dunkley, Dr. Akosua Lesesne, and Bridgett Hitchings.  The host Dr. Monica George-Fields assures the audience is the benefactor of honest conversations about education today!
