Join us as we welcome back Dr. Frederic Reamer, Professor Emeritus at the Rhode Island College School of Social Work. Throughout the conversation we focus on effective altruism and how it breaks down how evidence, ethics, and impact analysis to help practitioners, agencies, and policymakers move beyond good intentions to doing the most good for children and families. Listeners are invited to reflect on daily practice, career choices, and system-level priorities through a practical, thought‑provoking lens.
