Elizabeth Johnson, Jesse’s House (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 363)

Jesse’s House is a Forsyth County-based emergency shelter for adolescent girls who have experienced abuse and neglect. Executive Director Elizabeth Johnson joined host John Ray to discuss the history of Jesse’s House, the services and hope for healing they offer their residents, and some of their successes. The stories Elizabeth has to share in this episode are compelling. North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

Jesse’s House

Jesse’s House Inc., originally known as the Forsyth County Youth Shelter, was founded in 1998 as a result of a 1996 needs assessment survey for the north Georgia region conducted by Kennesaw State University. The survey identified the need for an emergency shelter in Forsyth County for adolescent girls who were experiencing abuse and neglect. The Larry Morris family answered the call by donating a 2 bedroom home in honor of their father, Jesse Morris. With a house in place and generous contributions from the community, Jesse’s House began operation. In their early years, Jesse’s House was able to serve seven residents with a maximum-allowed stay of 90 days.

The past 22 years have seen tremendous growth in response to the changing needs in the community. Their new shelter has the capacity to serve 12 girls, and the average length of stay in this past year was 8 months. Jesse’s House has served over 1,000 girls from all over the state of Georgia in these past 22 years, and with the support of our community, we hope to serve another 1,000.

Elizabeth Johnson, Executive Director, Jesse’s House

For most of her professional career Elizabeth has provided therapy to individuals, and family members of those who had co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders. Elizabeth’s involvement with Jesse’s House began in 2016 through her work as a therapist by providing counseling to the residents. Her involvement with Jesse’s House grew in 2017 when she became the Program Director, and in October 2020 she was installed as the Executive Director.

Elizabeth is passionate about helping others heal, overcome trauma and empowering them through change to create a different outcome in their life’s story. She is passionate about affirming the dignity of those most vulnerable among us and sees sacred potential in everyone. She is inspired by the courage and resilience of the girls at Jesse’s House, and humbled to work alongside the women at Jesse’s House who are so skilled and dedicated to helping the girls who are placed with them.

“In a world that seems so lost at times, I am grateful to be in a position where I am often reminded of the goodness of others. I see it in my co-workers on a daily basis. I see it through the thoughtfulness and generosity of those in the community who support our work. But I see it most clearly in how all of that support comes together and starts to take shape in the girls. They begin to value themselves and see potential in their life that they hadn’t dare dream before.”

Karianna Blanchard with Parents for Suicide Prevention Julie Gustafson with JMG Consulting Karen Nowicki with Phoenix Business RadioX and Kelly Lorenzen with KLM Consulting

In 2017, four moms founded the nonprofit Parents for Suicide Prevention (PSP). They were responsible for Senator Sean Bowie drafting the Mitch Warnock act requiring all school personal to have two hours of suicide prevention training every 3 years.

We are losing our teens at a high rate in Arizona and we learned our school staff was not trained in the signs of suicide to help watch out for the students and coworkers.

Karianna Blanchard is a wife and a mother to a daughter and son and spent years as an Early Childhood Director for an east valley church.

When one of their families became survivors of a suicide loss of a child, she began to become more aware of her misconceptions of suicide.

As Karianna began to learn more, she realized some things. No one is immune to suicide and suicide is preventable. One caring adult can change a child’s world and the Christian community needed to have real conversations about depression and immense pain and not make people feel their belief is wavering if they feel suicidal.

Karianna feels we have to work as a community to show one another HOPE. She has made it a personal mission to learn all she can to be of help to her community.

She has completed courses in Youth Mental Health First Aid, Suicide Risk Assessment and Management, SafeTalk, QPR GateKeeper Training, CALM (Counseling on access to lethal means), Strategic Planning Approach to Suicide Prevention, Locating and Understanding Data for Suicide Prevention, Spirituality and Mental Wellness, and Community Overdose Prevention, Naloxone Training and Koru Mindfulness, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), Child Psychology, Stop the Bleed, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Trauma Surgery

On this episode of Top Docs Radio, I sat down with Dr. Doug Lundy, an orthopedic surgeon with Resurgens Orthopaedics to talk about trauma surgery. Dr. Lundy shared the fact that he initially had plans to have a career in the military as an officer in the Army.

We talked about the fact that during their training and work, the soldiers were frequently experiencing orthopedic injuries, necessitating care by orthopedic surgeons. In that time he began to have an interest in the field of medicine and ultimately went that direction.

Dr. Lundy explained that motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle wrecks, and falls from height tend to be the main causes of injury leading to a patient needing his help. These injuries are often very complex and involve both the bony and soft tissue, and lead to extensive rehabilitation.

In many cases patients are left with a fair degree of pain or loss of function after traumatic injuries like these. Lundy said that the way to get the best recovery usually means starting rehabilitation soon after repair of the injuries which means the patient has to endure significant discomfort and effort to achieve it.

It is clear in speaking with Dr. Lundy he has a passion for his work and appreciates the opportunity to help patients who are experiencing these life-changing injuries, helping them get their lives back as close to normal as possible.
