Child First–Behind the Policy

Behind the Policy: A Parent’s Story That Changed Everything.

Behind the Policy: A Parent’s Story That Changed Everything Most people picture laws being written in quiet rooms by people far removed from families. This episode tells a different story. Host Kathleen Barlow sits down with Corinne Johnson, executive director of the Child First Policy Center, to talk about the real-life experiences that pushed her into this work. Corinne shares her journey as a mom, what her family went through with technology and mental health, and why she believes parents need a stronger voice when decisions are made about kids. This conversation kicks off the series by going behind the policy and showing how child-first change often starts at the kitchen table—not the capitol. This is a public episode.
