WEEKEND: Protecting Victims & Preparing Students | SCVAN and Junior Achievement of SC (Ep 737)
Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
Today on Just the Truth, we’re joined by two guests working to strengthen communities across South Carolina in very different — but equally important — ways.
First, Amanda White with the South Carolina Victim Assistance Network joins us to discuss the SAFE Designation recently awarded to the Fountain Inn Police Department. We talk about trauma-informed policing, support for victims of sexual assault, and why specialized training for law enforcement can make such a difference during crisis situations.
Then, Angel Malone, President & CEO of Junior Achievement of Greater South Carolina, joins us to talk about preparing students for the future through programs focused on financial literacy, leadership, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and workforce readiness. From BizTown to Finance Park and the Stock Market Challenge, Junior Achievement is helping students gain practical real-world skills that businesses across South Carolina are demanding.
Topics covered in this episode include:
• SAFE Designation for law enforcement
• Trauma-informed care for victims
• Public safety and victim advocacy
• Workforce readiness in South Carolina
• Financial literacy education
• Entrepreneurship and leadership training
• Junior Achievement programs in South Carolina
