    Partners in Prevention – Insights from Foster Parents
    Host Vivian Ko, Assistant Director of Professional Development and Worker Well-Being Research & Evaluation at the Florida Institute for Child Welfare, explores how Florida’s foster parents serve as frontline partners in prevention, what approaches support positive outcomes for children, and where systems can be improved. Vivian, an adoptive mother and former foster parent, talks with foster and adoptive mothers Lori Ann Chapman and Selena Garrison about their personal journeys through foster care. Both became involved with the system because they wanted to provide stability, love, and advocacy for children who have experienced trauma. Lori and Selena tell stories that reveal how difficult foster parenting can be, but they say watching children heal, grow, and feel safe is what sustains them. “Supporting foster parents is prevention. I hope we're able to clearly identify the gaps so that we can better prepare and support foster parents from the beginning. Because when foster parents are set up for success, kids are going to be more stable, and the outcomes are going to improve.” Selena Garrison Resources mentioned in this episode: The Fostering Foundation: https://www.thefosteringfoundation.org/ The Pearl Project: https://www.thepearlproject.org/ “Memoirs of a Middle Mama”: https://www.facebook.com/memoirsofamiddlemama/ Just a reminder: Our guests’ opinions are their own and do not necessarily reflect the official views, policies, or positions of the Florida Institute for Child Welfare.

    E6: Legal Advocacy for Families Impacted by Domestic Violence
    Chris DelMarco, Attorney, Legal Services of North Florida Domestic violence (DV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) affect individuals across all demographics. Human services and law enforcement responders often encounter IPV cases and must collaborate to support survivors. Despite their shared goal of ensuring safe families and communities, these collaborations can be challenging due to differing priorities, processes, and responsibilities. Attorney Chris DelMarco of Legal Services of North Florida specializes in representing survivors of domestic, sexual, and dating violence, as well as stalking. Her work focuses on enhancing the safety and long‑term stability of survivors and their children. Ms. DelMarco says successful outcomes for DV survivors include: -Ensuring that they feel heard and feel like they can return for help -Offering supportive, nonjudgmental interactions -Creating systems that hold perpetrators accountable—not survivors “Domestic violence survivors really do know more about their situation than any of us ever will. They know about the danger they face. They know about what will and won’t help. They know what they need to be safer and to provide safety for their kids. We all really need to consider their knowledge, perspectives, and experiences and make sure those things are interwoven in whatever remedies we are working with them on.” Chris DelMarco Content Note: This episode contains an in-depth discussion about domestic violence and intimate partner violence, including descriptions of abusive behavior and its emotional and psychological impacts.

    E5: Engaging Those Who Use Harm: The Role of Batterer Intervention Programs
    Domestic violence (DV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) affect individuals across all demographics. Human services and law enforcement responders often encounter IPV cases and must collaborate to support survivors. Despite their shared goal of ensuring safe families and communities, these collaborations can be challenging due to differing priorities, processes, and responsibilities. Juan Carlos Areán of Futures Without Violence (https://futureswithoutviolence.org/) discusses his 35‑year career working with individuals who cause harm in intimate partner relationships. He provides training and develops curricula focusing on the intersection of fatherhood and domestic violence for organizations nationwide. Mr. Areán says fatherhood can be a powerful influence in batterer intervention programs because many fathers who cause harm are motivated to change for the sake of their children. That has led to support programs that leverage men’s roles as fathers to encourage behavior change. “Anyone who has worked with fathers who use violence realizes that many of them can be motivated to change when they realize the damage that they are doing to their children. So basically, through the love of their children, that's where the change can happen.” Juan Carlos Areán Guide for fathers who want to change and heal their relationships: https://futureswithoutviolence.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Father-Workbook-English-FINAL-2025.pdf Intervention Services in Florida: https://www.myflfamilies.com/bipc National Helpline for people who cause harm: https://acallforchangehelpline.org/ Content Note: This episode contains an in-depth discussion about domestic violence and intimate partner violence, including descriptions of abusive behavior and its emotional and psychological impacts.

    E4: Case Management and Survivor Support: Bridging Systems
    E4: Case Management and Survivor Support: Bridging Systems Sarah Tedder, Case Manager, 4 Sisters Solutions Domestic violence (DV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) affect individuals across all demographics. Human services and law enforcement responders often encounter IPV cases and must collaborate to support survivors. Despite their shared goal of ensuring safe families and communities, these collaborations can be challenging due to differing priorities, processes, and responsibilities. In this episode, Sarah Tedder, a case manager with 4 Sisters Solutions, discusses the intersection of DV and child welfare. DV is a factor in many of the cases that Ms. Tedder manages, and she believes that child welfare professionals can benefit from more training on the “power-and-control dynamics” of these relationships. She says DV survivors are too often held accountable in cases, rather than those causing harm, and there needs to be an accountability shift from focusing on what a survivor can do to protect children to emphasizing what an abuser can do to stop creating violence. Tune in to learn her definition of success in DV cases and her specific hopes for future improvements to Florida’s child welfare system. “I would like to see a professional being available [in the judicial process] that can provide insight into their perspective on addressing the batterers in the case, not just the survivor. But really getting somebody in there that can address the alleged perpetrator right out of the gate because that’s really where the accountability needs to start from.” Sarah Tedder Content Note: This episode contains an in-depth discussion about domestic violence and intimate partner violence, including descriptions of abusive behavior and its emotional and psychological impacts.

Chief Maurice Holmes, Tallahassee Police Department Domestic violence (DV) and intimate partner violence (IPV) affect individuals across all demographics. Human services and law enforcement responders often encounter IPV cases and must collaborate to support survivors. Despite their shared goal of ensuring safe families and communities, these collaborations can be challenging due to differing priorities, processes, and responsibilities. In this episode, Deputy Chief Maurice Holmes of the Tallahassee Police Department says that throughout his career, he has seen more training to better equip officers for DV and child welfare–related responses. Today’s training recognizes DV is a complicated cycle of childhood trauma, mental illness, and patterns of harm. While arrests rarely provide a full solution, Deputy Chief Holmes says achieving long-term success for families must include effective collaboration among community partners on interventions. “We want to make a positive impact in children’s lives because they’re suffering trauma. We’re all working together. I just wish everyone had the mindset that we’re a team.” Dep.
