Facilitating Voices: An Outlet Podcast

Facilitating Voices Host, Haili comes out of hibernation to break down what is really at stake in light of Roe v. Wade potentially being overturned. Haili unpacks who the Supreme Court r is, how they function, and then takes a deeper dive into the history of Roe v. Wade. Haili also shares resources on how to get involved and make an impact during this terrifying time for women in the United States.  

In this week's episode, Haili and Claire sit down with Chris Neugebauer, a member of the Pierce County Speaker's Bureau. Chris shares his experiences with mental health, abuse, homelessness, advocacy, and being a parent. This episode includes discussions around building resiliency, breaking generational patterns, and taking the first steps toward change.

Viewer Discretion is Advised. 

On this week's episode Claire and Haili discuss collective trauma, its impacts on all of us, and how collective trauma impacts the work we do as social workers.  In the midst of COVID-19 and so many other prevalent events that have happened over the past few years (ongoing school shootings,  ongoing mass shootings in public spaces, ongoing violence toward people of color that goes unreconciled, natural disasters like floods and wildfires) the impacts of collective trauma become clearer every day in the field, and become heavier on everybody’s hearts every day in life. Through a five point discussion, Claire and Haili  dive into the history behind collective trauma, the prevalence of collective trauma, how collective trauma manifests itself and its effects, events contributing to it today, and what we can do about it. 

When talking about current events this week, we want to be careful about retraumatization in the wake of the school shooting at Oxford High School. If at any time you feel as though this is too much, please feel free to skip ahead, pause or end the episode. Signs to look for when you are starting to feel overwhelmed may include muscle tension, an increase in heart rate, your mind racing, changes in body temperature. Take care of yourself, because these are extremely difficult things for us to be talking about. Viewer discretion is advised.

Juan Carlos has also participated in the Collection Box Series, which raises money for different charities. He has performed in numerous venues around the country, including Seattle and Minnesota.

He comments on healthcare, gentrification and the rising cost of living in NY. Juan Carlos shares  his story of growing up in the Bronx, as a Dominican- American American.  Juan didn’t speak english when he first started school, and grew up in a non english home, all of which shaped his experiences and made him who he is today.
