Thanks to everyone has responded and shared input.
Do think we as state Clearing houser managers can have any kind of active
role in changing the disparity?
The Psychologist in the news story called it the “Missing White Woman Snydrome” It’s historical.
Maybe if we start calling it what it is (once we educate ourseves a lttle) and INCLUDING THIS in our trainings
WE will start the “snowball” effect for change. Using interview like the one below in our training on missing persons.
