Bill Newman Show

In Episode 45, Attorney Ada Lin of Prisoners’ Legal Services in Boston, Massachusetts discussed the need for the pending House and Senate Bill that would allow for a more compassionate release of those incarcerated individuals who were terminally ill or permanently incapacitated and facing an end-of-life situation.  In this episode, Ada Lin returns with Dr. Alice Bukhman, an Emergency Department Medical Director, and Head of Medical Partnerships for Prisoners’ Legal Services to discuss the medical parole need in more detail.   Ada and Alice offer a voice for those in need of medical parole, and work with teams of hospital caretakers to improve management of agitated patients, and reduce bias, especially where it concerns a shackling of a patient who is already incapacitated.

With 10 million job roles open, employers today not only need to broaden their search parameters, but they need to retain the employees they hire.  Across the U.S. there are organizations popping up to assist employers by re-imagining how they hire and teaching them how to combat the biases that political unrest, structural racism, and increased mental health conditions have levied on the workforce.  To the rescue in Chicago is the Chicago Resiliency Network, an initiative of the Corporate Coalition of Chicago.  Heralding their charge to help employers, across their region, create workplaces that are better for employees and better for business, is Program Director, Marcos Gonzalez.  Marcos and his team lead the employer cohorts through training and simulations that address the hiring of justice involved individuals and explore the root causes of trauma and toxic stress.  The outcome, new knowledge, better training, and stronger resiliency practices that best suit their business.
