A podcast series focused on exploring juvenile rehabilitation (JR) through the perspective of young people and staff at Green Hill School and Echo Glen Children’s Center premiered a new season Oct. 1.
"Dignity: A Podcast on WA Juvenile Rehabilitation” covers topics such as the impacts of mentorship, how spirituality is a source of strength, how young people maintain cultural connections, and their favorite programs. The podcast was produced by Bobby Williams, executive director of The Bridge Music Project, which hosts song writing workshops to help young people in JR share their stories through music.
The podcast produced by Bobby Williams Creative in partnership with The Bridge Music Project and the Washington Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), includes six new episodes covering a large range of topics from the perspective of the young people served at JR facilities.
“We take an inside look at juvenile rehabilitation through the voices of young people living it and the adults who show up every day to make a difference,” said Williams. “The episodes open a window into youth's lives and show who they are as individuals.”
You can listen to the new season on Spotify, Apple Podcast, or https://dignitypodcast.podbean.com/. Episodes will be released every Wednesday.
Episodes will also be shared on DCYF’s JR webpage. To learn more about The Bridge Music Project, visit https://www.bridgemusicproject.org.
