Happy New Year! We made it through one week! Thank you for spending your new year getting in touch with what’s going on in the Hudson Valley. I hope you’ve had a terrific holiday season, and as we settle back into real life, I hope you’ll be able to find many things to celebrate this year.

This week’s guest is Alethea Taylor, executive director of Hour Children. Hour Children is a leading provider of services to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women in New York State. We discuss their 360 wrap-around service, which offers mentoring, resources, and more for mothers who are incarcerated and their children. We also discuss Adverse Childhood Experiences and the importance of building a strong community.

We invite you to join us and listen to a previously recorded conversation between Alethea and myself here on In Touch.
