Mack Morris was one of the first people to educate me about the challenges faced by people with multiple disabilities and sensitivities, especially in relation to mental health care systems from which they alternately seek assistance or get threatened. Now, she interviews me for Intuitive Public Radio. Listen or watch here.
From the Intuitive Public Radio page: “There is deep pain in the world, especially for those who are most vulnerable and without resource access. When flawed systems fail us during critical moments, it affects not only our own lives but the lives and livelihoods of family and community members all around us…. Rob’s work and this conversation help anchor pro-active compassion — to expand access and choice while elevating ethics, empowerment and essential safeguards… We acknowledge the urgency of problems being experienced across many communities — and at the same time, we aim to learn how we can better honor the rights and intrinsic worth of those most impacted during all phases of support. Consensual, respect-oriented, healing-centered care is a powerful compass for us in the Intuitive Network. We embark on these conversations cognizant of the rights, vulnerabilities and dignity at stake for all involuntarily impacted groups.”
