Find your voice with...Social SIlence. 

Introducing Social Silence,  a series of weekly podcasts co-hosted by Zara Skidmore and Laura Bentley that challenges health and social inequalities in our community.  During the covid pandemic, it is well documented that there has been a rise in health inequalities with social determinants widening the gap between those affected.  The social, political, economic, cultural, environmental and physical contexts all have implications for power relations; directly impacting socially marginalised people’s ability to exercise their voice and to be heard.  

When a person feels as though the whole world is against them, they see no point in speaking up. When society blames everything and everyone but the abuser or perpetrators, the person affected will not speak up.

We need to do better as a society. People need to feel safe to speak up. No individual affected by inequalities or abuse should ever fear speaking out! Every individual deserves the chance to Thrive and break the Social Silence!
