Prevention Vs. Intervention: 10 yo Gracie Parker

10-year-old Gracie Parker "Gracie" is the youngest guest we have had on our podcast! Don't be fooled by this young woman's age! Gracie lost her mom when she was six months old due to substance abuse, and does not have her dad in her life due to his incarceration in continued drug abuse. She is now been raised by her grandparents and has a lot to share.

Gracie is speaking out about kids need for trauma counseling in schools. She says too many lose loved ones and teen suicide. She hopes to reach all the way to Capitol Hill so others can hear her message! She has been to City Hall, talked to the school board, and is also planning a rally on April 30th in downtown Franklin North Carolina from the courthouse to the town hall with the police chief, senators, the mayor, and the school board. She is even pushing to share her message on the Senate floor!  She is an author of a chapter in a book titled "SHATTERED."  Give this podcast a listen, and maybe you will be as impressed as we are!
