Hoosier Families Inc. Steps Up Campaign To End Child Abuse & Neglect In Indiana.
Dec 12, 2022
Child abuse and neglect is never-ending. This is why Hoosier Families Inc., the #1 Indiana Child & Family welfare organization, scaled up its services to provide tangible skills that empower at-risk children and families to achieve their highest quality of life.
United States - December 12, 2022 —
Hoosier Families Inc., a non-profit organization and Indiana’s leading child & family resource, has stepped up its drive to end child abuse and neglect across Indiana.
In the state of Indiana, kids are nearly twice as likely to experience some type of child abuse and neglect every year compared to the average in the United States. One child experiencing abuse, let alone hundreds, is far too many.
According to Alexander Burks, Founder & Executive Director of Hoosier Families Inc., prevention remains the ultimate weapon to shield children against maltreatment.
“It is crucial for us to work together to build and empower families and communities by establishing safe spaces where appropriate resources can be obtained. To accomplish this, we all must work together vigilantly,” Burks says.
Among the signs of abuse or maltreatment seen in Indiana kids include unusual bruising. However, Burks says Indiana children can also exhibit behavioral patterns and problems that can point towards neglect, and sexual or emotional mistreatment, which can be more challenging to detect. This includes almost everything – from kids not reporting to class or being left alone at home.
Hoosier Families Inc. provides community-based programs for Indiana children and families, utilizing evidence-based practices to strengthen, rebuild and reunite the individuals and families its team encounters. Its programming is family-centered and inclusive of the holistic needs of the family and delivers a curriculum designed to nurture creativity in all children and parents.
Alexander Burks serves as Founder & Executive Director. His passion is the Child & Family Welfare sector, and he has dedicated his life to protecting and advocating for at-risk populations. Burks is known for being a collaborative and transformative leader, implementing strategic plans for the company’s development, and managing relationships with stakeholders.
As 2022 wraps up in a few weeks, the non-profit organization stays committed to the ongoing engagement and collaboration with other child and family welfare programs, including state agencies, to strengthen families’ connections to community resources.
Mickens, one of those who turned to Hoosier Families Inc. for assistance, described the foundation as a “lifesaver” and “game-changer” in Indiana.
“I will admit, my expectations of my children were very high and unreachable. I hated how ugly I’ve become to my children. Working with Hoosier families truly saved our relationship,” wrote Mickens.
Johnson, meanwhile, reached out to Hoosier Families Inc. to seek support and reduce the family stress they’ve been getting that might lead to abuse and neglect.
“I was skeptical at first, not truly understanding how my family could benefit from this. I am pleased to see the differences in my children and myself,” Johnson wrote.

What is work worth when thought is metered?
Your organisation buys human intelligence by the hour and machine intelligence by the million tokens. Only one of those prices is falling fast, and most management systems, from the timesheet to the pricing model, are still built around the other.

NEU Battery Materials bags US$7.6M to mine lithium from the world’s least-loved battery
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries have an awkward reputation among recyclers: they are everywhere, and they are worth very little once they die. Unlike the nickel- and cobalt-rich chemistries that recyclers have chased for a decade, a spent LFP cell offers no precious-metal jackpot. It holds lithium, iron and phosphate, and two of those are […] The post NEU Battery Materials bags US$7.6M to mine lithium from the world’s least-loved battery appeared first on e27.
Social impact is easy to pitch and hard to prove: 17 SEA startups taking the harder route
“Social impact” is one of the most overused phrases in a Southeast Asian pitch deck.

So we went looking for startups that do more […] The post Social impact is easy to pitch and hard to prove: 17 SEA startups taking the harder route appeared first on e27.
US-China trade is entering an era of managed rivalry. Southeast Asian businesses should prepare for it
The most important change in US-China trade this year is not another tariff headline. It is the emergence of a more managed, transactional relationship between the world’s two largest economies. President Donald Trump’s May state visit to Beijing produced exactly that kind of arrangement. Washington and Beijing established new Boards of Trade and Investment, China […] The post US-China trade is entering an era of managed rivalry.

Everyone is talking about AI adoption. But are enterprises actually ready for it?
A company can have hundreds of employees using ChatGPT, Copilot, or other AI tools every day, and still not be an AI-ready organisation. This may sound contradictory, but it is becoming increasingly common. Employees are experimenting with AI. Teams are building copilots. Companies are running pilots. Some are even putting AI into production. Yet ask […] The post Everyone is talking about AI adoption. But are enterprises actually ready for it? appeared first on e27.
AI can generate a video in minutes. Making it usable is the hard part
Generative AI has made video creation remarkably fast. A scene that once required a camera crew, actors, locations and hours of post-production can now begin with a prompt and an idea. But after working with AI-generated cinematic videos, I have learned that generating a video quickly and producing a video that is actually usable are […] The post AI can generate a video in minutes.
