There’s no doubt that caring for an aging parent, spouse or loved one is challenging, frustrating, and stressful, Last week co-producer Liz Seegert talked with caregivers about those issues. This week, she tells us about one place that provides a lively “second home” for caregivers. It’s a window on what caregiving services can be and a real eye opener for what’s to come.

She produced this series supported by a Journalists in Aging Fellowship, a collaboration of New America Media and the Gerontological Society of America, sponsored by the Silver Century Foundation.

We welcome back guest Virginia Reath, artist, RPA in GYN/Women’s Health, and feminist activist. We talk about the power of feminist public art campaigns historically and this new campaign by the National Women’s Liberation @4womenslib and Redstockings @redstockings who teamed up and are plastering vintage Redstockings stickers over sexist subway ads in NYC. Every conversation with Virginia Reach is thought-provoking and always feels too short.

Graduate Fellow Kristin Westphaln’s segment;  Tale from the Crib: How sex trafficking could appear appealing to an adolescent:

Healthstyles presents a “pimped out” tale from the crib as Kristi Westphaln tackles the topic of sex trafficking with a teen-aged twist.  The discussion of how sex trafficking could appear appealing to adolescents is joined by Ohio based expert pediatric nurse practitioner, Dr. Gail Hornor.

Join Westphaln and Hornor as they define domestic minor sex trafficking, highlight teen-specific risk factors, identify  the long term consequences of involvement in sex trafficking, and focus on resiliency factors that can help protect our teens.

Help us to turn off the trafficking light.

As adolescent recruitment into sex trafficking exists,

we must empower teens with tools to resist.

Protect with all senses: look, listen, and feel.

Adolescence can be rough- but hope and love are real.
