Welcome to part III of this really important Latter Day Struggles mini-series exploring the topic of how all organizations (our church included) create hierarchical systems with those in power and those who are seen as deviant, ‘other' or an ‘out-group' in some way.   So far in this series we have explained the psychological phenomenon itself, zoomed in on how this plays out on the ground in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and now we are going to spend the next two episodes walking through the six-step process of how humans create those groupings whom we choose to dominate, subjugate, and marginalize.    This episode tackles in detail the first three steps:   1) Mark the difference in a group of people who are unlike yourself.  2) Stigmatize the difference. 3) Institutionalize the discrimination practiced against the group. FRIDAY'S episode IV (accessed by following the subscription link at the end of the show notes) tackles steps 4-6.    In these next two episodes (today's and Fridays) Val and Nathan will offer both historical and current examples of how each of these steps in the creation of marginalized “out-group” populations looks both within the LDS faith and in other contexts.   Get ready to have your mind further expanded.   Here is the link to the book being referenced in this series: “Living with History: Making Social Change by Gerta Lerner:   https://a.co/d/5wEvMqp Here is the link to subscribe and listen to the next episode in this series [and every Friday episode].           https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/valerie-hamaker/subscribe?fbclid=PAAaZOujT5Iv-ArVKxx_ZnsJryIeK7uymznxXxCfmDAjArPXxc9c6MCky899g_aem_ATa689KXBF31ycMSoST32hApZpdhYUynZdSHSbNSgCplOwFGXHIYlkS8IOvJbd5xJbU ___________________________________________________________________________  To financially support Valerie's ongoing ability to provide this content to you and others, become a patron of Latter Day Struggles here:https://www.patreon.com/LatterDayStruggles ____________________________________________________________________________ LIVE:  COURSES I and II of “A Couple's Guide to Faith Crisis and Expansion”.

Meet Reuben and Sherri Johnson, affectionately known as the FlyDuo® - co-founders of Fly MediaProductions, an award-winning, non-traditional brand agency obsessed with de-stigmatizing pleasure.

Some of the topics we discuss include: Growing up as Jehovah Witnesses and getting married at a young age How their resourcefulness led them to entrepreneurship early on as young adults How moving to Atlanta changed their lives The shift to no longer dreaming small When they began to question the only life they've known - taking the chance and the risk to find themselves and redefine what a new life meant What sex positivity means for them in life, business...and more The challenges of working in the pleasure space What they love about being entrepreneurs and dream drivers FIND THE FLY DUO ONLINE: Instagram: @xoflyduo FIND DREAMS IN DRIVE ON:Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/dreamsindrive Twitter: http://twitter.com/dreamsindrive Web: https://www.dreamsindrive.com SIGN UP FOR OUR WEEKLY NEWSLETTER - THE KEYS: www.dreamsindrive.com/join  JOIN THE #DREAMSINDRIVE FACEBOOK GROUP: www.dreamsindrive.com/facebook

This week we discuss destigmatizing mental illness, therapy, and ways to normalize seeking therapy. We discuss barriers to seeking mental health treatment, and ways to move passed those barriers.

So gone ahead and seek therapy.

Maybe you say "yes" to too much, or pick up the slack of negligent co-workers, or get pushed around by customers or managers. Feelings of resentment are probably one of the most common experiences in the workplace that nobody wants to deal with. Why? Maybe we don't like our resentful selves. We'd rather not feel so petty, grumpy and victimized as it concerns our daily commitments. But what happens when we don't like a feeling? You guessed it: we avoid it! It doesn't get the attention and healing it needs and it continues to fester. So I wanted to dedicate this episode to the specific tendencies we have to perform tasks resentfully and work on them using our mindful self-coaching skills. You might learn... Resentment is a spectacular opportunity to learn about our values, relational tendencies, communication habits, and general sense of freedom.The feeling of resentment isn't necessarily the problem as much as the STORY that comes with it - so we'll learn just how to deal with such mental stories.Game-changing ways of saying no, making requests and dealing with what appear to be unavoidable demands.Go Deeper Into the Mindful Service Movement:Subscribe/Review on i-TunesContact or Work With MeGet Access to the live workshops and master the service mindsetJoin the Facebook CommunityFollow Me on InstagramConnect with me on LinkedInCheck out my partnership with The Institute for Organizational Mindfulness

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and in recognition of this we invited Kimberly O'Brien, Ph.D., LICSW to have a conversation about teens and suicide. Dr. O'Brien is a clinical social worker whose research focuses on the development and testing of brief interventions for suicidal teens with and without substance use and their families. An often-stigmatized topic, Dr. O'Brien helps break down walls around having conversations with young people about suicide. There are so many contributing factors which can lead young people to have thoughts of killing themselves – depression, anxiety, eating disorders, sexual identity, trauma, gender identity – and being able to have an open and honest conversation with a trusted individual is an important and vital part of making people feel heard and supported. CW: suicidal ideation, suicide among teens and lgbtqia community, eating disorder behaviors, trauma histories, mention of substance use, mention of family interventions and dynamics

For a long time, the word “cancer” was whispered, almost in shame. A diagnosis of mental illness hasn't moved far beyond that today. Richard Grinker, professor of anthropology and international affairs at George Washington University, joins guest host Courtney Collins to talk about how we are on the cusp of accepting a spectrum of neurodiversity and why it's taken so long to shed stigma. His book is called “Nobody's Normal: How Culture Created the Stigma of Mental Illness.”

They can feel marginalized; feel trapped in their homes, avoid social contacts and miss opportunities to find work because of the everyday prejudices which create a host of obstacles for those trying to recover from drug addictions. Offers of work or housing are commonly withdrawn when it becomes known that the recipient has had a serious drug problem, even if they have stopped using. Yet employment and stable accommodation are two of the most important factors for helping people overcome dependence and stay off drugs. Anything that makes these harder to access will worsen drug problems. To a certain extent, these attitudes reflect how dependence is portrayed in the media. On TV, people with drug addictions tend to be shown as “junkies”, sex trade workers, or criminals - not as people with a health problem that can be addressed. The stigma of drug dependence will only be overcome if it is acknowledged and confronted directly by those who work in the helping fields and by society at large. For family members too, there is a fear of being associated with the shame of addiction, and family members may avoid situations that could lead to them being identified as the relative of a drug user, even at risk to their own well-being. In this video presentation, Dennis Long, Executive Director of Breakaway Addiction Services in Toronto, has viewers examine their own assumptions and bias towards those with drug addictions. He explains how barriers can be broken and support for those with drug additions can bring positive results when an accepting, non-judgemental environment is established. Dennis Long dispels some common myths about drug addiction. He provides helpful strategies for talking with distress centre callers regarding issues of addiction and outlines several resources available to help support individuals and their families who are trying to deal with drug addictions. Glossary Marginalization: to put or keep (someone) in a powerless or unimportant position within a society or group. The process whereby something or someone is pushed to the edge of a group and accorded lesser importance. This is predominantly a social phenomenon by which a minority or sub-group is excluded, and their needs or desires ignored. Stigmatize: to describe or regard (something, such as a characteristic or group of people) in a way that shows strong disapproval or hold with a negative attitude or prejudice Questions for Further Consideration Have you ever stopped to think about why people with drug addictions are looked upon with discrimination? Consider what effect this stigma and stereotyping can have on the individual. Prejudice and discrimination exclude people with substance use problems from activities that are open to other people. This limits people's ability to: get and keep a job, get and keep a safe place to live, get health care (including treatment for substance use and mental health problems) and other support, be accepted by their family, friends and community, find and make friends or have other long-term relationships, and take part in social activities. Prejudice and discrimination often become internalized by people with substance use problems. This leads them to believe the negative things that other people and the media say about them (self-stigma) and also to have lower self-esteem because they feel guilt and shame. Prejudice and discrimination contribute to people with substance use problems keeping their problems a secret. As a result, they avoid getting the help they need and substance use problems are less likely to decrease or go away. As a distress/crisis line call responder, what can you do to help reduce prejudice and discrimination against people with substance use problems? Know the facts - Educate yourself about substance use; learn the facts and dispel myths that you and others may have regarding drug use and addiction; find opportunities to pass on facts to others. Be aware of your own attitudes and behaviour; we’ve all grown up with prejudices and judgmental thinking, which are passed on by society and reinforced by family, friends and the media, but we can change the way we think—and see people as unique human beings, not as labels or stereotypes. Choose your words carefully - the way we speak can affect the way other people think and speak. Use accurate and sensitive words when talking about people with substance use problems. For example, speak about “a person with a drug addiction” rather than “an addict”. How can a distress/crisis line worker make sure they are being supportive on the phone lines? One way to be supportive is to stay positive when speaking with callers on the distress line. People with substance use problems make valuable contributions to society; their health problems are just one part of who they are. Treat all people with dignity and respect and encourage their efforts to seek help and to get well. Listen carefully to determine the reason for the call and avoid making assumptions when trying to offer assistance.
