    Sex, Love and Dragons: Disability representation in television

    In this episode Alli Strong-Martin & Tricia DePalatis join host André Floyd for a fun discussion about disability representation on television through three shows that we're watching. We discuss a recent(ish) Nielsen report that shows how little disability representation is actually on screen, then get into three shows that run the gamut of good and/or bad representation. We try to be spoiler-free (and give warnings when necessary) when discussing Sex Education, Down For Love, and House of the Dragon! Join us on our journey to discussing these three shows, and how differently they each represent disability on screen. Have a good recommendation? Don't hesitate to reach out! ================= Show Notes ⁠Seen on screen: The importance of disability representation⁠ (Nielsen) ⁠Down for Love - My Take⁠ (William Sangster, Attitude) ⁠Meet the Cast of 'Down for Love' — Netflix's Reality Show About People With Down Syndrome⁠ (Je'Kayla Crawford, Distractify) ⁠Sex Education: Isaac actor George Robinson gets intimate about disability⁠ (Alex Taylor, BBC) ================= This podcast is produced by ANCOR, the leading voice in Washington, DC, for providers of services for people with disabilities.

    Addressing Burnout & Compassion Fatigue Head On (w/ Dr. Hassan Abdulhaqq)

    We all know and can relate to the sensation of burnout. While the same concept exists in the field of human services, compassion fatigue is another serious possibility. For this episode we setup a voicemail line for people involved in the day-to-day work of supporting people with disabilities to have them define compassion fatigue, and tell us how they aim to lessen it, and burnout. Their comments are punctuated with expertise from Dr. Hassan Abdulhaqq, Chief Human Resources Officer at AABR, Inc. He helps us understand what works and what doesn't, and how to be 'best in class' at mitigating burnout and compassion fatigue.
