Reporting to Supporting
This is a short podcast series that details the transition between the mandated reporting policy to community-supporting (interchangeably known as mandated supporting) initiatives in the state of California. Throughout the episodes, I hope to highlight the false narratives of mandated reporting and the damage it causes, bringing light to the lives of children and families it harms. This project is a culmination of the research I conducted for my capstone project for the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs as part of my work with the UCLA Pritzker Center.

Welcome back!
In this episode, we will dive into mandated reporting and the systemic issues that it exacerbates. We also deconstruct counter arguments to the policy changes, like liability, and how that impacts the initiative for change.

Hi!
In today’s episode, we will hear a short conversation between me and Virginia Otis, who works in all things research, specifically focusing on children’s mental health. She'll explain her experience as a mandated reporter and I wanted to give a brief story of my first run-in with the term mandated reporter.
