The Power of Work

What does work mean to you? A sense of purpose, belonging, value, or your community with good colleagues? Is it income to build a life, security, and bring food to the table, or is work a place where you feel worthy? Research shows that work is medicine, especially for those who feel the choice of work had been taken away from them. This short documentary shows this challenge through the eyes of people who have utilized work inclusion as a tool to reunite with work and themselves. Life happens to us all and to some of us, it takes away our natural ability to work. No matter if it is our physical or mental health, an accident, disabilities, or social constructs that hinder us to take part in work, the absence of a choice in the matter is difficult to bear. Hear how John Edvart, Munira, Adrian, Carina, Stig, Tomasz, Nayra, Sindre, Rikke, Elisabeth, and Joachim found different ways to overcome their challenges united through work-inclusion as a tool in the process. Learn from their journeys and dive into the power of work and our ability to utilize it as a sense of value to our lives. This video is made thanks to the partnership with Kopano - A umbrella organization for work-inclusion companies in Norway working to support people in their journey to enter the job market. The Human Aspect interviewed people that had gone through this path together with the Kopano companies.

Innvandrerhelse og utenforskap

9th Jan 2024

00:35:45

We all face emotions and situations where we just want to escape and not feel. At least for a while, we can recharge before we return to our lives and try to cope. This is where addiction can get a hold of us, and for many it creeps up on us. Learn from people that have broken out of different types of addiction, and hear insights from Consultant Clinical Psychologist Anne Crawford-Docherty. Together they take you through the different aspects of addiction, sharing experiences from their own lives when their addiction controlled them. Hear why many of us use different substances to escape our emotions or challenges in life through their real experiences. See what moments made them re-evaluate if the positives of their escape outweighed the costs of their addiction. Anne shares the model called “the stages of change”, and the different people share how they managed to break out of their addiction, to create the new lives they wanted. Hear what they learned from the whole process and what they wish they knew when they still felt the need to escape life. This is a good introduction that can help you take steps to overcome your addiction or how to support another person on their recovery journey.
