Many of us encounter unfairness, injustice and inequality in our lives. Those who work in Direct Support, either in a Group Home, Day Program or Hospital certainly face their struggles both with misunderstandings between co-workers or from those we support as we face racism, colourism, ableism and the many other reasons people find to create a divide between themselves and those deemed ‘different’. We reflected on the steps we are taking to create understanding even as we raised awareness of a problem that is often felt by many but spoken aloud by few.
