Show Notes

“A healthy relationship is not a one-and-done conversation. It’s about opening the space and having that ongoing conversation, and showing that you care.”

Local teens and community experts shared candid insights and valuable expertise on Mental Health, Trauma, Substance Use, Life Online, and Healthy Relationships at Wedgwood’s State of the Child Panel Conversation. 

In this Coffee Break Conversation, our second in the State of the Child series, we dive into a conversation about Healthy Relationships. Teens from Wedgwood’s Teen CHARGE student leadership group shared their thoughts with our moderator Maranda, and then our panel of experts weigh in with their professional input. 

Our panel of experts includes:

  • Chris Becker | Kent County Prosecuting Attorney
  • Kali Jackson | Wedgwood Residential Treatment Therapist
  • Dr. Lisa Lowery | Spectrum Health Section Chief of Adolescent & Young Adult Medicine
  • Kevin Polston | Kentwood Public Schools Superintendent
  • Kari Schulte | Wedgwood Substance Use Disorder Clinical Supervisor
  • Moderated by Maranda of ABC 4 West Michigan
