Practice Management with iMatta - Non-Judgement as a Way of Living In episode 348 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we look at the barriers to diversity in supervision – exploring the importance of cultural attunement, honesty, and managing bias. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Chris Metcalfe and Kent Riley from iMatta – a practice management platform for therapists looking to streamline their admin and protect client data. And lastly, in ‘Student Services', we discuss how non-judgement can be more than a counselling condition – it can become a valuable way of living. Barriers to Diversity in Supervision [starts at 03:43 mins] Rory and Ken explore how barriers to diversity in supervision can arise when issues of equality and inclusion are overlooked, causing supervisees to hold back and ultimately impacting the client relationship. Key points include: Why supervisors need cultural awareness and CPD in diversity. How hidden clients can emerge when supervisees fear judgement or misunderstanding. The impact of language, unconscious bias, and national symbols in triggering discomfort. A powerful contribution from Sarah Henry, Racial Diversity and Training Correspondent, on attunement versus competence. Practice Management with iMatta [starts at 33:00 mins] This week, Rory is joined by Chris Metcalfe and Kent Riley from iMatta, a secure, easy-to-use platform designed for therapists. Discussion points include: iMatta's origins supporting ex-service personnel and the therapists who worked with them. Core features: GDPR-compliant data storage, secure video calling, notes, assessments, reminders, and invoicing. Community-building and training support built into the platform. How iMatta helps practitioners focus on therapy, not admin. Non-Judgement as a Way of Living [starts at 55:55 mins] Ken and Rory reflect on the deeper meaning of non-judgement and how it can shape, not just our therapy rooms, but our lives. Key takeaways include: Understanding the difference between judgement and assessment. How being non-judgemental starts with self and improves emotional regulation. The role of curiosity, empathy, and critical thinking in reducing bias. How non-judgement brings harmony to personal and professional relationships.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are more than buzzwords—they're at the heart of today's cultural and political conversations. In a time when these topics spark both progress and polarization, it's a conversation well worth elevating, especially for parents striving to shape the next generation. For parents who feel uncertainty around how to instill these values in your children, we've got your back. In this Rewind episode, Jermaine Moore, founder of the Mars Hill Group—a training, development, and consulting firm specializing in leadership and DEI—joins us. As a father of four, Jermaine brings not just professional expertise but also personal experience to the table. Together, we explore how to raise empathetic kids in a world that sometimes resists change.Jermaine is Co-Founder of the Mars Hill Group, a New England-based consulting firm which specializes in leadership training, workplace culture, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Jermaine is a father of four children who are currently scattered across the world, and he shares candidly about what  led him to this line of work, why it's so important and valuable, and  how we as parents can actively exercise it and celebrate it within our families in order to raise empathetic kids. The conversation covers topics including:•  What is DEI? Jermaine defines diversity, equity, and inclusion•  WHY Jermaine is passionate about DEI work•  DEI Misconceptions•  Diversity in NON-diverse areas•  The importance of exposure and representation•  "More is caught than taught"  - Modeling behavior for our kids•  Allyship and how to be a true allyLINKSJermaine Moore (LinkedIn)Mars Hill GroupMcKinsey: Diversity Wins / How Inclusion MatterseXtension Foundation: What Is DEIForbes: 15 Key Benefits of DEIDr. Joy Degruy: A Trip To The Grocery StoreJermaine Moore Presentation at Creative MorningsCaspar BabypantsSpencer AlbeeModern Dadhood (website)AdamFlaherty.tvStuffed Animal (Marc's kids' music)MD (Instagram)MD (Facebook)MD (YouTube) #moderndadhood #fatherhood #parenthood #parenting #parentingpodcast #dadding #dadpodcast

We are at moment in which grappling with America's history of racism, recognizing the impacts of generational injustice and creating solutions to those harms is being met with fury by our president elect and his allies. including Elon Musk, a ceaseless purveyor of misinformation. Trump has memorialized his plans to eradicate DEI-Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives within federal agencies and public universities in the right-wing playbook Project 2025 and he demonizes organizations that advocate for the redress of social and economic inequities. He even blamed the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles on DEI, a nonsensical claim that seeks to stir up outrage among his supporters. In this episode of Power Station, Dr. Deitra Reiser shares how her company, Transform for Equity, guides organizations in examining how racism, sexism and ableism shows up in their workplaces and engages them in shaping policies and behaviors that make a culture of inclusive belonging for everyone possible. She partners with synagogues to identify why more Jews of color, accounting for 15-25% of the community are not joining their congregations or being hired as staff. This is crucial work and the outcomes are heartening. Deitra tells the story powerfully.      

Racial justice and ethnic diversity are seen as laudable aims by most (though not all!) in our society.

Welcome to Episode 63 of The Equity Experience Podcast! A question that I commonly receive from school district leaders is: How do I recruit more teachers of color in my District? How do we diversify our strategy to be more equitable with our hiring practices? This is always a great question to always ask and consider. In this podcast, I take a different approach to go a step deeper to discuss the topic of workplace inclusion. This is important as an inclusive workplace environment will help to retain a diverse teaching/leadership staff within a district.

Notes:The Verbivore references a quote from romance author Chandra Blumberg (Digging Up Love, Stirring Up Love), who we interviewed back in 2021. That episode was “Episode 89: Interview with Chandra Blumberg”. Here is her full quote:“There's definitely a stigma about different levels of heat in romance. Some people aren't comfortable with the high heat and they think it's all the high heat. But there's all sorts of romance for all different people. I was worried that if I write the sort of romance that I want to, will there be a place for it. And the answer is yes because there is. It's the same thing with fantasy and so many other genres – they run the gamut. Just like there's cozy mysteries or there's dark, gritty mysteries.… There's so much diversity in the genre and there's really something for everyone.“Towards the beginning of the conversation, we talk about the Romance genre being wide and growing, with characters that are starting to more accurately reflect the world around us - but there is still a long way to go. We strongly believe representation matters and that we all should be able to see ourselves reflected in stories with happy endings.

An activist, public speaker and musician who's also known as the TikTok Rabbi, she lives and works at the intersection of queer, Black, female, and Jewish identities – and speaks powerfully about the dangers of the division and supremacy that are rending our nation – and killing our spirit. And she brings a powerful moral message to inspire all of us to do better.

Pastors Andy and Walter have a 30-year age gap. Andy is white, and Walt is black. Both men were up for the senior pastor position at their church. When Andy got it, it brought division into their church. During this time, Andy was found to be a perfect kidney match for Walter and gave him his kidney. Would that be enough to keep their church together? To learn more about the podcast or access the show notes, visit www.redletterpodcast.com.

Notes:Towards the beginning of the conversation, the Verbivore mentions that the Romance genre is wide and growing, with characters that are starting to more accurately represent the world around us - but there is still a long way to go. We strongly believe representation matters and that we each should be able to see ourselves reflected in stories with happy endings.

When the trailer for the live-action remake of Disney's The Little Mermaid was released online, outrage was sparked by individuals upset over the casting of a black actress as Ariel.

Joining us to discuss the controversy over the casting and her thoughts on diversity in the arts is someone who understands what Halle Bailey is going through.

Having conversations with our kids about topics of diversity, equity and inclusion can feel complicated these days. Even during periods when we're not hearing much about racial prejudice in the news, there's a lot for us to learn and much work to be done to right the wrongs of racial injustice in our societies. How can you and your family be part of ongoing antiracism efforts to put an end to racial injustice for this generation? Deanna Singh has been named by Forbes as an African American woman everyone needs to know. Educated in law and business, Deanna is both a social entrepreneur and a changemaker. She tells her story of how east met west in her family of origin, her own childhood experience of racism, and how she and her family approach other cultures with curiosity and love.

The cost of racial reconciliation and unity came not at the blood of any man, but of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Diversity and inclusion keep popping up in academia. It's not just with diversity in gender, race, sexuality, etc., but also with practitioners from several different occupational therapy schools. How can we use the richness of this diversity to help the profession grow? How can we leverage this to the advantage of our OT profession? In this week's Pre OT Secrets, Jessica Lopez will interview Michelle DeJesus. Michelle has always been a dream of hers to start my own practice to best serve her kids in their natural environments. Through Neuplay Therapy, she has been able to utilize my passion for brain development, neurorehabilitation, and family-oriented occupational therapy services to help my clients achieve their goals and more importantly, - improve upon the family's quality of life. With the experience of working in a nationally-recognized children's hospital as well as providing early intervention services in the home, she has gathered tools, certifications, and experience that have allowed her to best serve children with a variety of diagnoses including cerebral palsy, autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, genetic syndromes, developmental delays, and more. More importantly, she truly believes in building trust and connection with my families as the best intervention is that which empowers families with education and tools to maximize a child's potential. They will touch on such topics as: Mapping the Pre-Occupational Therapy Journey. Occupational Therapy where science and creativity meet! The diversity in the academic field of occupational therapy.

January 17th we celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. day, and in reconnaissance of this celebration, we decided to dedicate a full episode to talk about racial diversity and microbes.

In this episode, we discuss this approach and how this can result in misleading outcomes. Join us in this discussion and let us know what your thoughts are!

God has blessed the world with diversity. He has purposed it, and commanded Noah and humanity to spread out and cover the earth. It is against this command that the rebellion at Babel happens where humans don't spread out and so instead, they are scattered by God when He confuses the language of the people. We are reminded that God intends for us to spread out and embrace His diverse creation.
