Ron Turner talks with Greg Trotter, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications for Brightpoint, serving Illinois through 70 counties, providing family support, education, mental wellness, and child welfare services to children and families. Trotter discusses Brightpoint’s prevention-focused programs, including home visiting, doula services, fatherhood initiatives, crisis nurseries, foster care, adoption support, and early childhood education. He also shares information about mental health counseling, trauma-informed play therapy, and wraparound family services. Trotter explains Brightpoint’s mission to strengthen families early and keep children safely connected to family and community. A memorable example is a single mother receiving a donated car nicknamed “Dove” because it felt like it fell from the sky. (https://www.brightpoint.org)
