Positive Approaches: What does it mean?

from Two Old Sexperts: Talking Sexuality & Disabilities · host Shawn McGill

For decades, we have been discussing and using the terms "Positive Approaches" or "Positive Practices," but do we know what they mean and how to employ the strategies when supporting a person? In this episode, we try to take you on a journey through information and stories to help people and organizations gain a better sense of understanding but also to challenge and encourage folks to use the practice with those they support and with each other as a whole system. Moral is low, the "staffing crisis" continues to get worse and worse, and people with disabilities are being warehoused in jails and prisons at an alarming rate. We must start the dialogue to uncover where we go from here to make real change.
