This week, EMPath President & CEO Beth Babcock appeared on an episode of Insert:Human, a new podcast hosted by speaker and author Chris Colbert.

In the episode, “Breaking the Cycle of Poverty with Beth Babcock,” Beth and Chris discuss:

• The present-day difficulties of getting out of poverty
• The pre-COVID jobs that will not exist after the pandemic
• How poverty, discrimination, stress, and trauma affect the way people develop, think, and behave
• How tunneling and swamping affect people living in poverty
• How in-person coaching, virtual coaching, and peer support affect learning
• How EMPath is helping homeless families in the Boston area
• The divisions and inequalities exasperated by COVID
• Why it is vital to focus your energies on the things you can change and making a long-term impact in a moment of crisis
