"Nothing about us without us" with Mary Meads and Trina Chakrabarti

We are excited to welcome Mary Meads and Trina Chakrabarti of Wellington Music Therapy Services to the podcast today! "Nothing about us without us" (Latin: Nihil de nobis, sine nobis) is a slogan used to communicate the idea that no policy should be decided by any representative without the full and direct participation of members of the group(s) affected by that policy. Mary and Trina discuss their passion for accessible advocacy and implementing the thread of equity within the workplace.  Episode Links: Follow Wellington Music Therapy on Instagram (@wellingtonmusictherapyservices) Follow Wellington Music Therapy on Facebook (@wellingtonmusictherapyservices) WMTS Website: www.wellingtonmusictherapyservices.com Email Mary - [email protected]  Email Trina - [email protected]  Sources for the reference to "Nothing about us without us": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_about_us_without_us#:~:text=The%20saying%20has%20its%20origins,the%20monarch%20to%20the%20parliament. https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/j.ctt1pnqn9 Sources for the reference to "Therapy is Political": https://www.talkspace.com/blog/mental-health-is-political/ -- Subscribe to the Able Voice Podcast, leave us a review and connect with us (@ablevoicepodcast or @synergymusictherapy) to share your experiences and takeaways.
