The nation is facing an economic challenge likely not see in our lifetimes.  Large segments of society are essentially closing down and far too many people are losing their livelihood.  Many view Fishers as a wealthy community, and generally we are.  That doesn’t mean Fishers and the surrounding area lacks families with challenges.

So, where do families suddenly finding themselves in need turn for help?  For any family with students attending the Hamilton Southeastern Schools, which encompasses more than the City of Fishers, the Hamilton County Youth Assistance Program (YAP) is there to help.

I spoke with Trisha Straus, an Early Intervention Advocate for YAP in Fishers, and she talked with me about what her organization and others are doing locally for families that are finding themselves in hard times very suddenly.  Here is my podcast talk with Trisha.
