We need more shows where we can talk about this, where people like yourself come on- and I have some knowledge of it and other people have knowledge of it too- to sit, to talk, to speak and to get involved.
Ever wondered how we can make a real difference in the lives of at-risk children? Mike Tikkanen, founder and President of Kids at Risk Action (KARA), joins 'Stop Child Abuse Now' to share his insights on this crucial issue. Mike's passion for child abuse prevention and intervention in Minnesota is evident as he discusses the alarming statistics that highlight the urgency of the problem.
But it's not all about numbers; Mike brings a human touch to the conversation, sharing real stories and practical solutions. He talks about his recent work on a local PSA project and offers advice for survivors on starting recovery groups, recommending his book, 'Invisible Children', as a resource. The episode also explores the ripple effects of Covid-19 on child abuse rates, the challenges within foster care and group homes, and the importance of cultural sensitivity in child protection.
Mike emphasizes the need for civic involvement, particularly from young future community leaders, to address America's 'At Risk Youth' problem. He calls for more open conversations about child abuse prevention and recovery, urging everyone to play their part in creating a safer world for children. If you're looking for ways to get involved, Mike suggests volunteering with organizations like NAASCA and KARA. Tune in to this enlightening episode and discover how you can contribute to making a positive impact.
