Warning: This week's episode deals with abuse and violence. If this will be triggering or harmful to you, take care of yourself and we hope to see you back here next week!This week we're talking to Barb MacQuarrie, who is the Community Director of the Centre for Research and Education on Violence against Women & Children at Western University. Barb's current research focuses on detailing the cost to businesses when employees are experiencing abuse at home. The economic impact is legitimately staggering, and can be a good way to get folks motivated to be "nosy" without feeling as awkward. Barb gave us a number of resources for both Canada and the US, which can be found below.
