  • Breaking down Trauma and Inspiring Empowered Advocacy with Carrie Colby & Dr. John Keesler

    Breaking down Trauma and Inspiring Empowered Advocacy with Carrie Colby & Dr. John Keesler
    2024/11/08
    Join hosts Heather and Steve on Finding Common Ground as they sit down with two powerful voices for the IDD community: dedicated social worker Carrie Colby and university expert Dr. John Keesler. Despite not having a personal connection to IDD, both have chosen to devote their careers to supporting those with autism and other developmental differences, bringing fresh perspectives on systemic gaps that often go unnoticed.

    This candid discussion takes surprising turns as they break down a real-life scenario one of our listeners is navigating right now—offering insights, strategies, and a framework you can apply when you face similar challenges.

    With a career spanning state services, nonprofits, and now private practice, Carrie brings unique insights into trauma-informed care and the transformative impact of giving neurodivergent individuals a platform: “When we give individuals a voice, we give them dignity—and that can transform lives.” Dr. Keesler, drawing on extensive research and a commitment to systemic reform, highlights the vital transition from school to adult services, emphasizing, “Trauma-informed care isn’t just a method; it’s a necessary mindset that acknowledges the whole person beyond their diagnosis.”

    In this episode, explore the real challenges families encounter in navigating complex service systems, discover practical advocacy insights, and gain a deeper understanding of the power of community-driven support. If you’ve ever felt like the systems meant to help might be holding us back, this episode is for you.

    This podcast is completely grassroots—no big-name sponsors dictating our content. We’re investing in this because we believe that unfiltered conversations with changemakers like Carrie and John can move the needle on issues that matter to families like ours.

  • Changing Healthcare through Lived Wisdom with Dr. Mai Pham

    Changing Healthcare through Lived Wisdom with Dr. Mai Pham
    2024/10/23
    In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Mai Pham, CEO and President of IEC, as she shares her personal and professional journey in transforming a healthcare system that often leaves people with disabilities behind. Despite years of medical experience, it wasn’t until her own child was diagnosed that Dr. Pham faced the frustrations families experience navigating a broken system. If she struggled, what about those without her inside knowledge?
    Dr. Pham takes us behind the scenes of IEC's mission to reshape healthcare by leveraging lived experiences. From creating an affordable app that helps doctors better understand patients to encouraging systemic reforms like Delta Dental’s new billing codes and the Heads Up Act, which seeks to define the I/DD population as medically underserved, IEC's approach is groundbreaking.Dr. Pham believes real change starts locally—proving concepts in familiar systems before scaling them nationwide. And sometimes, as she puts it, “You don’t always want to announce the revolution; you want it to sneak up on the powers that be.” IEC focuses on trialing solutions, refining them with data to ensure they resonate with the medical field. Tune in to hear how this quiet revolution is reshaping healthcare, empowering families across the country, and giving self-advocates the power to lead change. An inspiring, practical conversation you won’t want to miss!

  • From Darkness to Light: Overcoming Addiction and Finding Hope

    From Darkness to Light: Overcoming Addiction and Finding Hope
    2024/10/09
    Have you ever watched someone you care about spiral down a dark path, struggling with addiction and searching for a way out? If so, you will want to tune into this episode of Finding Common Ground.

    In this compelling episode, we delve into a reality that is often hidden behind closed doors with our guest, Theresa Bolos. She courageously shares her journey of hitting rock bottom when her drinking escalated to a crisis, culminating in an arrest. Now, every fourth of the month marks a celebration of her recovery—a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, we can find the strength to change our lives.

    Theresa opens up about the emotional toll her addiction took on her family, revealing the painful truth that their love and support alone weren’t enough to save her. Her story is a testament to resilience, illustrating the challenging yet rewarding journey of rebuilding trust and relationships, even when some may never fully return.

    We’re also joined by Elizabeth Caton-Burm, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who leads the Tri-D Program at Catholic Charities Family & Community Services in Rochester, NY. This groundbreaking clinic specializes in helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), mental health challenges, and addiction—one of the few in the nation to do so. Beth sheds light on the complex intersections between these issues, providing insights into how integrated care can truly transform lives.

    While Theresa's story is deeply personal, it resonates with broader themes of coping with stress—especially relevant for families caring for loved ones with disabilities, who often face heightened stress levels. Beth's clinic is at the forefront of addressing these challenges, offering hope and tangible support to those at the intersection of IDD, mental health, and addiction.

    Join us for an enlightening conversation that reminds us that no matter the obstacles we encounter, there is always an opportunity for hope and a new path forward. Whether you’ve experienced addiction firsthand or are simply seeking to understand it better, this episode offers invaluable lessons on resilience, healing, and the light that can emerge from even the darkest places.

    Tune in and be inspired by stories of recovery and the groundbreaking work being done to support those with complex needs. You won’t want to miss it!
