Perspectives S37/Ep45 Preparing adolescents to Thrive by 25

Strong families build strong communities — but too many children and parents are still facing barriers that keep them from thriving. The Annie E. Casey Foundation has long been a leader in shining a light on what kids and families need to succeed, using data and research to drive real change. Joining me now is Lisa Lawson , President and CEO of The Annie E. Casey Foundation. She’s here to help us understand what the latest findings reveal about child well-being — and what’s working in communities right here in Georgia to help families move forward. Her book is Thrive and expands on the foundations "Thrive by 25" effort to ensure adolescents between 14 and 24 have what they need to be successful.
