Reporting to Supporting

elliseckles

This is a short podcast series that details the transition between the mandated reporting policy to community-supporting (interchangeably known as mandated supporting) initiatives in the state of California. Throughout the episodes, I hope to highlight the false narratives of mandated reporting and the damage it causes, bringing light to the lives of children and families it harms. This project is a culmination of the research I conducted for my capstone project for the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs as part of my work with the UCLA Pritzker Center.

  1. Episode 1

    What is Mandated Reporting?

    Hi! In the first episode, I give an overview of myself, my project, and the UCLA Pritzker Center. I dive into a brief history of the child welfare system and mandated reporting, why mandated reporting was implemented, and touch on how it impacts families.  Thanks for listening!

  2. Episode 2

    What Can Support Look Like?

    Welcome back! In this episode, we will dive into mandated reporting and the systemic issues that it exacerbates. We also deconstruct counter arguments to the policy changes, like liability, and how that impacts the initiative for change.

  3. Episode 3

    How Can "Support" Be Implemented?

    Hi! Thanks for joining me for episode 3!

  4. Episode 4

    What Is Training Like?

    Hi! In today’s episode, we will hear a short conversation between me and Virginia Otis, who works in all things research, specifically focusing on children’s mental health. She'll explain her experience as a mandated reporter and I wanted to give a brief story of my first run-in with the term mandated reporter.

  5. Episode 5

    How Can We Get Involved?

    Thank you for joining me for the last episode of this series. I hope it made you think and practice empathy. I want to thank the UCLA Pritzker Center for embracing me and my project, and Taylor Dudley, Luciana Svideler, and Virginia Otis for contributing to this series. Also, thank you to the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. My time at UCLA will be cherished.
