An absolute must for health care professionals to listen to. Compassionate care is meeting people where they are at, no judgement, just a kind heart. @sharemydialysis
@Seaforde1 The discomfort we may be feeling towards the calls for change is our willingness to recognise there is a truth to this. There was great harm done to many people, many of those who directed & facilitated this harm are today still venerated for the ‘good works’ & inequality exists.
@Seaforde1 And our claim to live in liberal democracies is undermined by how ‘minority’ groups have access to resources & opportunities.
I am not sure noting there were ‘free’ black slave owners, or there was slavery in Africa is a strong counter argument.
@Seaforde1 Thanks Deb. There is certainly a lot of heat & noise in many conversations at the moment. We must however acknowledge much of this anger is justifiable. It is uncomfortable, as white people, to recognise there is massive discrepancy in the lived experiences of black people 1
@hambrains100@williamcrawley 100%, the challenge is to consider what would change their minds in future and knowing calling people names is not very effective in influencing long term behaviour change.
@hambrains100@williamcrawley Apologies, my point of deminishing danger to ourselves was not specific to Covid-19. We ALL do have ‘it won’t happen to me’ & for many that is presenting in their willingness to hear yet choose not to follow the guidance on social distancing. For others it’s smoking, eating etc
Fascinating chat and insight into Motivational Interviewing with @GlennHinds from @ChangeTalking. Can't wait to share with @DevenneyGary @nccoaching0 @TheBoyRed7 and other coaches via @itsallinmyhead6. This will change coaching interventions for the better!
I’m actually so shocked that young people are being demonised for going out. Most live in dire, overpriced, overcrowded accommodation. Maybe the “I saw you at the park” Informants could get angry about the housing crisis?
@froodie Myrtle Neill was my manager in Whiterock MH Day Centre in 1990-1991. Strong, fair, straight talking, caring, safe. Gave me freedom to try. A great start.
