Children really don't have rights right. But in actuality what we see is that it is used as a punishment.
What does it take to stand up for the most vulnerable among us? In this eye-opening episode of 'Stigmatized', host Trevor Steinhauser sits down with Acena Beck, the Executive Director of the Children's Law Center. Acena's journey is nothing short of inspiring, as she dedicates her career to advocating for children and families in need.
From her early days in a Kentucky legal services program to leading the Children's Law Center, Acena has always been a staunch defender of children's rights. In their conversation, Trevor and Acena dive into the complexities of representing young clients in a legal system that often feels punitive rather than protective.
Acena sheds light on the pressing need for more mental health services for children and how multidisciplinary stakeholder groups can play a crucial role in improving the legal landscape for our youth. 'Children really don't have rights right now. But in actuality, what we see is that it is used as a punishment', Acena points out, emphasizing the systemic challenges that need addressing.
This episode isn't just for legal professionals or mental health advocates; it's for anyone who cares about the welfare of children. Acena's insights and passion make it clear that protecting children's rights is a community effort, one that requires awareness, hope, and healing. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just someone who wants to make a difference, this conversation will leave you both informed and inspired.
Tune in to hear how one woman's dedication is making a tangible impact on the lives of children and families. It's a compelling reminder that while the road to justice is long, every step forward counts.
