The Causes & Effects of Racism

Racism is back at the forefront after the uprising of the #blacklivesmatter movement, following the horrific events in the US. Watch how racism weighs down on us as a society, through the stories of different people with lived experiences. Their stories are combined with the professional Vikram Kolmannskog (Psycho therapist, poet, and speaker) explaining the psychological impact. Hear the unique story of the former neo-nazi Arno sharing the fuel behind his hate, and how he turned his life around to become a spokesman for equality. Learn how we as a society can impact the burdens of racism, and like THA founder Jimmy said, “Place racism in the history books where it belongs”. Especially now in the new wave of #blacklivesmatters, ensure this is not just another # without real change. The voices of this video share their insights and thoughts with you. Together we can lessen the burden of racism but also inspire actions that can end racism once and for all. Because all of us are part of society and can do something to help, even if it is 1 or 99 %.

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.
