Karen G. Foley from the Juvenile Protective Association emphasizes the critical role of relationships in supporting children's mental health and well-being. She highlights that just as chronically hungry children cannot learn, neither can those who are emotionally hurting. The discussion explores how the organization provides school-based mental health services, fostering long-term relationships with educators, parents, and students. Karen shares insights on the importance of understanding a child's intent behind their actions and the necessity of a supportive environment for both children and teachers. The episode underscores the need for an intergenerational approach to address the struggles faced by middle school girls today, illustrating how vital it is to nurture connections that help children thrive.

Karen joined JPA in 2014. She earned her MBA from the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College. Prior to joining JPA, Karen served as the President and CEO of The Hope Institute for Children and Families, serving children with autism and developmental delays across Illinois.

Takeaways:

  • Building strong relationships in schools leads to positive impacts on the entire school community.
  • Understanding the intent behind actions can foster forgiveness and stronger relationships.
  • Chronically hungry children can’t learn, just like those who are chronically hurting.
  • Intergenerational approaches provide unique support for middle school girls facing challenges today.
  • Teachers need to recognize and adjust to the various ages of their students.
  • Creating a nurturing and safe environment is crucial for children's development and learning.
