Be An Upstander! with Lynne Azarchi, Director of Empathy, Children's Home Society/Kidsbridge, Ep. 116

  1. Be An Upstander! with Lynne Azarchi, Director of Empathy, Children's Home Society/Kidsbridge, Ep. 116 Kate Cherichello 20:42

Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. Here we talk to individuals who are doing just that, individuals from all walks of life and industries. While we have featured guests from Bali to Utah, Florida to Japan, and just about everywhere in between, this season we are going uber-local with my new/old state of New Jersey. New Jersey? But why? And why should I care? 

Because your host, that’s me, Kate Cherichello Tente, is a New Jersey native but long-time Manhattan resident– that is until just a few months ago. As I rediscover my home state, I wanted to bring on some guests doing good here. But just like in prior seasons, something I love about human connection and inspiration is how you certainly don’t need to be from the same place or a similar background to get so much out of hearing from a person – In fact, I think it is better that way– We notice how we as humans are so similar in so many ways, and how EACH of us has so much power to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others. And I hope you are inspired here to start, restart, or continue your journey of finding your passions and helping others along the way.

Today, meet Lynne Azarchi, Director of Empathy for Children’s Home Society/Kidsbridge.

What you’ll hear more about today:

-The immense need for teaching kindness, respect, and empathy as early as possible

-Bystanders, Targets, Bullying, Upstanders

-Resources for both adults and children in teaching empathy

-Bullying– the action of the person, not the person, they are being mean-spirited and need help realizing what they are doing- teaching them empathy 

-What the Children’s Home Society / Kidsbridge partnership is doing to help reshape how children–and adults– treat one another

-Being an ‘upstander’ instead of a bystander

-How a passion for something can end up as a career, a one-time volunteer event, or many things in-between

-The severe increase in cyber-bullying 

-How to get started in being a changemaker

What is Children’s Home Society:

“…founded in 1894 and our mission was to find loving families for children, to protect children from harm, and to help parents find better ways to be parents so they can keep their children. It is our vision that all children have secure, caring families, good health, and function well cognitively, emotionally and behaviorally.”

What is Kidsbridge Youth Center:

As they are now under the umbrella of CHS, they help CHS with social emotional skills and bullying prevention.
