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.

The Link Between Data, Funding, and Progress (w/ Erica Smith Buchanan)
Recently, ANCOR & UCP released the Case for Inclusion 2024. This report examines how well state programs are supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. New data and analysis revealed that improvements had been made, but are currently tenuous, as they were largely the result of temporary pandemic-era funding.
So we spoke with Erica Smith Buchanan, executive director at CADENCE of Acadiana about what that means on the ground, and for the day-to-day lives of people with disabilities in the state of Louisiana. She gets real about the challenges, but is hopeful, because the link between progress and funding has never been clearer.

My Body, My Choice (w/ Ashley & Erica Thomas)
Sex? Relationships? Consent? Bodily autonomy? These are important topics for everyone to know about and discuss, but have remained sort of taboo around people with disabilities. Erica Thomas wants to change that.
She developed a program she calls 'My Body, My Choice' and it is all about giving information to people with disabilities so they can be empowered everywhere from the doctor's office to romantic relationships.
We start off with a conversation between Ashley, a person with disabilities that Erica supports, about what the program meant to her, what she learned, and how she applies it every day. Then Erica shares all of the components in her wide-ranging, empowering program.
