Genesis Project One and Youth Outreach in Charlotte Part 1

This episode features Beverly Knox Davis in conversation with Eric Gibbons, exploring how mental health support and grassroots outreach are reshaping outcomes for at-risk youth in Charlotte. Centered on the work of A Brighter Day Outreach and the Genesis Project, the discussion highlights the power of lived experience in building trust and guiding young people through crisis.
