About this listen

In this moving episode, we confront the growing crisis of youth violence and mental health challenges in Indianapolis—and highlight the individuals and initiatives working to turn pain into progress.

We spotlight effective intervention strategies for at-risk youth, with a special focus on the transformative impact of Mr. Garrison’s spoken word/poet and his mission to reach young people before it’s too late. We also introduce his company, Hidden GEMS by L.G., a powerful community-based resource dedicated to empowering youth and supporting families through mentorship, creative healing outlets like poetry and art therapy.

Learn more about an upcoming youth program and workshop designed to provide safe spaces, skills development, and emotional support for the next generation.

🎧 Tune in to hear how hope, community, and creativity are reshaping futures—one young life at a time.
