Human Services Stories: Management, Customer & Staff Voices
A podcast for helping professionals and the people they serve.
Hosted by Clinton Lewis, a human services leader with over 30 years of experience in the Department of Health and Human Services and advanced degrees in Criminal Justice, Human Services, and Educational Leadership, this show is a space for honest, supportive conversations about the realities of CPS, foster care, and related human services work.
Each episode blends real stories, practical guidance, and coaching‑style encouragement. We talk about:
•Getting past the stigma of working in human services.
•Dealing with isolation from family and community.
•Building a supportive community and finding time for yourself.
•Leadership, management, and staff support.
•Customer success stories and navigating the system with clarity and confidence.

Our goal is to honor the professionals who do this hard work, support the families they serve, and create a space where growth, healing, and connection are possible.
