Prevention Then and Now: Reflections from Long-Time Practitioners with Tonjie Reese, Part 2
Welcome to Part 2 of Tonjie Reese sitting down with Ashleigh Klein-Jimenez for PreventConnect!
If you haven’t listened to Part 1, you can listen to that episode here. I Tonjie shared how she came to prevention as a high school student and the importance of meeting youth where they are to increase connections.
The conversation picks up in Part 2 with Tonjie sharing how her understanding of prevention has shifted over time due to her ability to consider the nuances and needs of young people she connects with. Tonjie and Ashleigh talk about the importance of language and family when it comes to prevention, centering care and humanity, and uplifting younger people as they start their journey in prevention work.
