She has worked with youth and adults in a variety of settings. Some of her most significant experiences include: working with youth aging out of foster care, adults diagnosed with end-stage renal disease, and managing international volunteer programs in Costa Rica and Peru. Nataline values macro social work and collaborating with community stakeholders to insure those in need are represented and served appropriately. She is a member of her local community resource and coordination group, holds the national leadership identification committee position for the national association of social workers, coastal bin branch and is a mental health first-aid instructor. 

 

In this episode Dr. Gaye Lang and Nataline Hall discuss:

  • Listening to understand 
  • Validating people’s experiences
  • Making support accessible 
  • A sense of belongingness 

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • We need to listen intently and try to understand the needs of people. Don’t just listen to respond, and don’t assume what people need - you can only provide equity if you know where people are coming from. 
  • Letting others know that their experiences are real and that they are heard is a huge step towards making people feel safe. 
  • It’s not enough to just have support available, you also have to make it accessible. Make sure that the people you want to impact know that help is available for them. 
  • Create a space that provides a sense of belongingness. People need people who accepts them, validates their experiences, and helps them to be a better person. 

 

“Hurt people hurt people, and healed people help people.” - Nataline Hall
