Episode 09 - The Community Effect 101 - With Melody Marshall

Co-Director of the Central Ohio Chapter of Safe Families, Melody Marshall, shares with us the impact a whole and safe community can have on a child, their parent, and all others involved.

Finding out why there are so many kids in the water, why don't we swim upstream and find out why so many kids are ending up in the water. The idea of prevention really gripped our heart -Melody Marshall

Melody shared with us that there's 438,000 kids in foster care in the U.S. 70% of them are there because of neglect which is a preventable situation. Safe Families has a 97% success rate with re-unification. This got our attention and inspired us to learn what can be done to get involved.
