Explicit content warning
08/02/22 • 33 min
Listeners are advised that the following podcast does discuss situations around grief and trauma that can be triggering to people.
On this episode I talk about the complexities of grief and trauma with clinical psychologist, Skye Dong.
Skye helped develop SCIA’s Engage Program as part of our broader Resilience Programs. We're going to talk about the different ways people manifest pain and trauma, and why the way we deal with trauma and pain in terms of disability is a lot more than the disability itself.

Episode 15: Employment, Disability and Changing a Culture of Discrimination
Finding work and having a disability is hard.
No like, it's really hard.
In this episode, Susan talks to Phat Ngo, Employment Service Manager for SCIA's EmployAbility Service and Dominika Jachym, EmployAbility's Employment Coach about the obvious misconceptions of disability and employment, how that feeds into the hesitation a lot of employers have when hiring someone with a disability, how employers can better themselves to be a more inclusive workplace, help people with disabilities climb the career ladder and how COVID has forced people to start looking at what employment means in a different light.
