Sinopsis
Until 1791, people in the UK assumed all swans were white. Then a black swan was brought to these shores and so perspectives and previously held beliefs and opinions had to change. Sometimes anomalies cause us to stop and think and change our mind, or shift our thinking about something. Our current political and economics systems are incapable of giving us a future that is sustainable for the planet or socially just for humanity. This podcast explores anomalous examples of where other possibilities are emerging, which challenge our long held ideologies and allows us to open our eyes and reimagine an altogether different future, based on self-giving, others-empowering love, kindness and positive peace.

ACEs, Trauma Informed Practice and Hope for the Future
10/02/2020 Duración: 01h20minIn Morecambe Bay, which straddles North Lancashire and South Cumbria, we are passionate about developing trauma-informed practice. Our ‘Little Book of ACEs’ has been adopted by the WHO and is now available in other languages, and we are in the process of writing the next instalment, ‘The Not So Little Book of ACEs’. Here, we discuss in the round why trauma has such an impact on our lives, what we can do to prevent it, how we can help those who are going through it and how we can heal the wounds that we carry as a result of trauma we have suffered. As we gain more understanding, we can become more compassionate and create together a society that is more woke to the reality of what is, perhaps, our biggest public health crisis.
