    The importance of finding the strength to report child sexual abuse, even if it’s years later -  Children’s Justice Centers part 2 of 3  

    The Children’s Justice Centers (CJC) in the state of Utah are established to provide a neutral, comfortable place for coordinated services during the child abuse investigative process. These centers are even more important when you consider that nationally, 1 in 7 children have experienced abuse or neglect in the past year, and even fewer accounts are reported to authorities. On this second part of a three-part series on the stories and services of CJCs in Utah, our Relentlessly Resilient hosts have a crucial conversation on issues surrounding child physical and sexual abuse and human trafficking right here in the beehive state. In this episode, a child abuse victim who came forward decades after a family member victimized her shares her story. 

    Brandie Page was sexually abused by an uncle after years of grooming at the tender age of eight years old. At twelve, after years of anguish, she finally had the courage to tell her parents about the abuse, but her parents chose not to prosecute her perpetrator, thinking it was for the best. Brandie bravely shares how the unreported abuse haunted her for years, impacted her family and romantic relationships, her therapeutic struggles, and how finally, at the age of 36, she was able to find some healing when she reported her abuser to the authorities. She is here to encourage others to report sexual abuse at any age. 

    Listeners are encouraged to educate themselves on the signs of child abuse, the responsibility of reporting, how to report, and the carefully coordinated services provided by Utah’s local CJC as part of the investigative process. Great care and research have been given into the development of the process and services in order to provide a comfortable, neutral, child-friendly atmosphere for children and their families receiving care. This includes accreditations from the National Children’s Alliance and a multidisciplinary team trained to minimize trauma and facilitate improved coordination with investigators, as well as resources for survivors of any age. 

    While a CJC cannot accept child abuse reports directly, please report suspected abuse by contacting one of the following: Utah Division of Child & Family Services at 1-855-323-3237, your local police department or sheriff’s office, and if it is an emergency; call 911.  

    Even though we live in challenging times, we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband, Major Brent Taylor, was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together, and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.

    Director Julie Stephenson, The Children’s Justice Centers’ coordinated approach allows child abuse victims to be heard: Part 1 of 3

    The Davis County Children’s Justice Center has a motto that runs deep into their work protecting children from abuse; “Where small voices are heard.” With statistics showing that nationally, 1 in 7 children have experienced abuse or neglect in the past year, and with even fewer accounts being reported to authorities, providing a neutral, comfortable place for coordinated services during the abuse investigative process is of utmost importance. On this first part of a three-part series on the stories and services of Children’s Justice Centers (CJC) in the state of Utah, our Relentlessly Resilient hosts have a crucial conversation on issues surrounding child physical and sexual abuse, and human trafficking, right here in the beehive state. 

    In this episode, Davis County CJC Director Julie Stephenson educates our listeners on the importance of knowing ahead of time the signs of abuse, the responsibility of reporting, how to report, and the carefully coordinated services provided by your local CJC as part of the investigative process. Great care and research have been given into the development of the process and services in order to provide a comfortable, neutral, child-friendly atmosphere for children and their families receiving care. This includes accreditations from the National Children’s Alliance and a multidisciplinary team trained to minimize trauma and facilitate improved coordination with investigators, as well as resources for survivors of any age. 

    Support your local CJC by volunteering your time or making a tax-deductible contribution.

    Cohost Conversation: Grappling with life’s transitions means grappling again with past grief

    Transitions in life can be difficult for anyone, but when a person has already grappled with loss and grief, these standard transitions become bogged down with that renewal of grief. In this cohost conversation episode of Relentlessly Resilient, hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf use the tools of resiliency they have learned throughout their podcast history to grapple with changes in their lives. For Jennie, it has been five years since the tragic loss of her husband, and now her oldest is off to college out of state, and her youngest is entering kindergarten. While these changes are to be expected and celebrated, they are tinged gray in the grief of the lost ones not there to participate. Together, they support each other in facing the transitions in life.

        Melissa Leía on becoming ‘Warrior Strong’ while fighting human trafficking and sexual exploitation

        Melissa Leía knows a lot about becoming ‘Warrior Strong.’ From a young age, her life was painfully painted by sexual abuse, exploitation, and addiction. Now she advocates for sincere and honest change in our society when it comes to talking about human trafficking, sexual education, and the real changes that need to happen to protect some of the most vulnerable. While the problem is rampant across the real and digital world, she advocates for cultural changes right here in Utah, where the problem is obscured by apparent conformity and shame-based biases. Melissa is working with organizations like the Anti Trafficking Organization: EXITUS, the Utah Trafficking in Persons Task Force, schools of higher and lower learning, lawmakers, officials, and more to break the cycle of abuse and exploitation. She joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to educate listeners on how to educate and reach out in kindness on the issue of human trafficking because “People are not for sale.” 

        If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, you can get confidential help from the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or online at HumanTraffickingHotline.org.

              Twenty years after a sexual assault that changed her life, today’s guest on Relentlessly Resilient shares her continued struggle to come to terms with the trauma. When she was raped as a teenager, the criminal system and social structure surrounding her caused her to doubt everything, from the consent given to the violence she received. Now, after years of therapy, and contemplation, she is ready to share her story as a cautionary tale about teaching youth about sexuality, consent, and holding others and yourself accountable for their actions and your own reaction. This guest found great support through Saprea.org, an organization that exists to liberate individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts.

Now, in this second episode, she shares how she has used her experience to connect with other members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who also lost their spouses online and in person. While she is now remarried, she continues to connect with fellow widowers and widowers, creating conferences and events to give others the opportunity to socialize and lift one another.

                          Transitionally Speaking: Kim Weinreb on helping her fellow parents of special needs children navigate the bureaucracy and bumps in the road

                          Parenting always has inevitable bumps in the road, but when you are a parent of a special needs child, those numerous bumps can feel even more aggravated by bureaucracy, systematic educational insufficiency, and, hardest of all, burn-out of all sorts. This is what mother Kim Weinreb discovered when her son was diagnosed with a pre-natal stroke while in the womb, and the subsequent difficulties of his developmental delays and a social system, frankly, not set up to easily assist his needs. Now, as her son is transitioning into an adapted adult life, she is sharing her experience and well-earned expertise with other parents of special needs children of all ages. Recently she founded Transitionally Speaking, a counseling service to help guardians navigate the transition from child to adult services and support. She joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to share her experiences, brag about her son's accomplishments, and encourage others in similar situations to advocate for disability rights, navigate red tape, and, importantly, seek help and self-care.

                            Kari Malkovich is best known as a community leader in Woodland Hills, Utah, but not many know her past struggles that drive her desire to serve and lift others.

                            Author Chani Barlow on’‘Seeking Solace’ with infertility

                            Life never goes as we dream, but we can still work toward the dream anyway. In this episode of Relentlessly Resilient, our hosts are joined by author, adoptive mommy, and foster parent, Chani Barlow. She shares how she faced her struggle with infertility with determination and kindness to herself. She also gives listeners some tips from her new book, “Seeking Solace: Finding Hidden Miracles and Peace When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned.” 

                            Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.

                            TV personality Casey Scott on the Project Recovery podcast and rising with resilience against addiction

                            Casey Scott had worked hard to become a beloved TV personality, but under that bubbly outgoing surface, he was fighting a war with the demon of addiction. That surface cracked on September 2, 2018, when he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Since that time he has taken steps to confront his addiction, faced his demons in rehab, and is four years sober. Now weekly on the Project Recovery podcast, he shares his personal story of becoming a better person, one day at a time. Along with the expert help of licensed psychologist Dr. Matt Woolley, he interviews others who have faced similar addictions and found hope in the process. Casey joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to share his story of addiction, downfall, and most importantly, resilience.
