Hero Spotlight: A Home Within feat. Candice Simonds | E15

This week on Love, Happiness and Success for Therapists, we are spotlighting an organization that is making a positive difference in the lives of current and former foster care children: A Home Within.  A Home Within is a collective of volunteer therapists who offer no-cost therapy to current and former foster care children, for as long as they need it. This is the kind of transformative, meaningful work that we all want to be a part of, and I'm so honored to have the opportunity to shine a light on this fantastic organization.  My guest is Candice Simonds, chief program officer and a volunteer with A Home Within. Candice is sharing tips on working with people impacted by foster care, helping clients overcome a difficult childhood, and how you can use your therapist superpowers to become a beacon of hope for disadvantaged kids in your community.  Tune in to hear:  08:19 The Importance of This Work 15:42 Supporting Clinicians and Clients 25:26 Community Experience for Home Within Volunteers 26:41 Therapist Choice and Caseloads 28:20 Long-Term Trajectories and Outcomes 29:20 Research and Client Needs 32:10 Positive Impact of Therapy 33:06 Building Safety and Engagement 39:33 Creating an Environment of Healing and Joy 40:57 Resilience and Hope 42:21 The Power of Love 44:37 Being Part of the Solution 47:28 How to Get Involved And more!
