In this episode, Jasmine Ramirez, a counseling psychology doctoral student and a research associate at the University of Oregon, talks with Drs. Jodi Ford and Natasha Slesnick from The Ohio Stage University about the research they are currently conducting with homeless youth, the different paths that led them to prevention science, and the many rewards and challenges they have faced working with youth experiencing homelessness. Natasha shares that her greatest accomplishment was opening drop-in centers in Albuquerque and Columbus for homeless youth to receive support and services. Jodi feels like her greatest accomplishment is showing the effect that stressful environments have on behavior so people can understand and move past simply blaming individuals for their actions. They want young women interested in pursuing a career in prevention science to know that it is important to focus on things they are passionate about and that matter to them, and that it is never too late to change their careers.
