Voices for Change: Karen Dunholter

This episode features Karen Dunholter, a school social worker in Michigan. She talks about her experience as a first responder to a suicide-by-gun tragedy at school, her Safety Task Force, and more.

“We are on the front lines. We’re in the schools. We’re doing the work. That is an important piece that's missing in these conversations. We have the firsthand experience. We're witnessing things all the time in the schools that thankfully don't always lead to your situation or my situation. But there's a lot of things that go on in a school that people aren't aware of in the day to day….We as educators are responsible for the safety and well-being of our students. That is a big part of our job. So we should be speaking out about this and advocating for this, because when it comes down to it, we are the ones with the kids.” — Karen Dunholter
