🏠 NEW EPISODE TEASER 🏠
Episode 5: Home, Hope and Hand Up Justice | Courtney Brown on Building Equity Brick by Brick

Housing is not just shelter. It is healthcare, dignity, and opportunity.
In this episode of Beyond the Script, Courtney Brown, Chief Program Development Officer, at Habitat for Humanity East Central Ohio, joins us to unpack why stable housing is one of the most powerful drivers of health equity.

From faith fueled partnerships to the meaning of a true hand up, not a handout, Courtney shares how homeownership becomes a catalyst for generational change and why justice must be built into every blueprint.

✨ In this episode, we explore:
• Housing as a critical social determinant of health
• Why dignity belongs in every build
• How homeownership breaks cycles of poverty
• The power of faith based and community partnerships
• Equity built literally and figuratively, one family at a time

Home is more than a roof. It is safety, stability, identity, and hope.
This conversation will change how you think about justice and where it begins.

🎙 Beyond the Script is your weekly prescription for truth at the intersection of medicine, justice, and community transformation.

Episode 4: Mental Health on the Ballot | Aimee Wade’s Blueprint for Systemic Change

Mental health is not just a clinical issue it is a policy issue.
In this episode of Beyond the Script, Aimee Wade, Executive Director of the ADM Board of Summit County, breaks down how prevention, funding, and cultural competence must move from the margins to the center of decision-making.

As communities face rising mental health needs and strained systems of care, this conversation offers a clear, hopeful blueprint for building behavioral health systems that actually work for everyone.

✨ In this episode, we explore:
• Why mental health is quite literally on the ballot
• How policy decisions shape access and outcomes
• Prevention as a tool to reduce crisis and long-term harm
• Why cultural competence is essential, not optional
• How advocacy fuels real systems change

This episode is honest, urgent, and necessary.
