Domestic Violence and Child Support Systems Functionality for Survivor Safety

Domestic Violence and Child Support Systems Functionality for Survivor Safety

Author: NCSEA June 26, 2024 Duration: 55:05

Tim Lightner (co-chair of this year’s NCSEA Communication’s Committee, and coming to you from Anchorage, Alaska) and Mariellen Keely (Virginia Child Support, and from Crozet, Virginia) welcome a conversation about domestic violence, and what functionality a child support system should include as many states are going through system modernization.  They welcome their guests, Jonell Sullivan (Management Consultant with Public Knowledge) as she makes her On Location debut, along with Michael Hayes (Federal Office of Child Support Services) as he returns to the On Location studio.    The discussion centers around what is needed, and important to protect domestic violence survivors, and what can help and what can harm within a child support program’s system.  They offer up suggestions that are worth taking note.  Listen also as Jonell and Michael share their history in the program, and how they ended up in child support. 

 


Ever wonder what happens when you pull a microphone out at a conference or a community meeting? That's the spirit of NCSEA On Location. Instead of polished studio sessions, this podcast captures conversations where they naturally happen-in hallways after a panel, at international gatherings, or in quiet corners of bustling events. You'll hear directly from Human Services professionals, from caseworkers to policy architects, along with advocates and community stakeholders who are deeply involved in the system. The discussions are immediate and grounded, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the challenges and innovations in public service. Each episode feels like you’ve stepped into a meaningful, spontaneous dialogue, one that continues long after the formal agenda ends. The authentic atmosphere is even complemented by original music from Joe Mamlin, whose granted compositions frame these real-world recordings. Brought to you by NCSEA, this series is for anyone curious about the human stories behind government services, preferring the sound of genuine exchange over a rehearsed script. Tune in to a podcast that truly travels, bringing you voices from the field exactly as they were heard on the ground.
