Assistant VP Clinical Sciences & Research | Leading Clinical Innovation and Equity-centered Research | Transformative Lifelong Learner & Educator | Mother Advocate
I had a great conversation this week on protective factors for young children, and another last week on the need for them for suicide prevention and intervention. Here’s a study that shares dozens of protective factors. What’s great is parents and community members themselves identified and defined the many protective factors. #ProtectiveFactors #ParticipatoryResearch
Child Trends, National Black Child, Development Institute, and Black Child Development Institute-Ohio asked Black parents and caregivers across the United States how they define protective community resources and to share how they benefit from these resources. Child Trends' new brief describes the study's findings and highlights several local and state initiatives that are working to create protective communities for Black children and families.

NEW RESEARCH STUDY 📚👩🏽💻 📖 As Black mothers raising our kids in predominantly White towns in the Northeast, we have experienced, first-hand, the challenges of finding supportive and justice-oriented educational environments for our Black children. Through informal conversations with other Black mothers, it became clear that there are larger patterns worth exploring about the racial justice advocacy & emotional work Black mothers do to ensure our children's socio-emotional & academic success, particularly within private, predominately White pre-K-6 schools. In our efforts to shed light on these patterns and offer suggestions for structural interventions, we would love to hear from you! - Dr. Kristie A. Ford and Dr. Jallicia Jolly

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States, while also acknowledging the long-lasting horrendous legacy that it has left on our society and Black Americans. The stain of slavery reminds us of the past we must face and reconcile with to ensure a better future for our nation, our state, and our community. For Black Americans who continue to bear the burden of systematic racism, injustice, and hate, we know that commemorating this day is only a small part of a long journey toward racial justice, equity, and freedom. At Empire Justice Center, we are committed to this journey and to the communities we serve. Concretely, this includes operating a very active internal Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility (DEIA) Committee to implement racial equity-based solutions and an ongoing DEIA Training Series. Externally, this means ensuring our organization adequately serves communities of color (recent data shows that 63% of individuals directly served by the organization identify as people of color). Our offices will be closed today, but our hearts and minds are open, ready and dedicated to putting the work into action.
