Questions on my mind.. Same questions in the hearts of parents.. For people in developed nations, to a large extent, isn't much of an issue but for parents in underdeveloped/developing nations such as Nigeria, this is a lot to think about. #behaviouranalyst #RBT #intellectualdisabilities #autisticindivuduals #lifeofatherapist #behavioranalysis #ekitigov

Confidence Expert, Ops & People specialist, Start Up Founder/Speaker/Life Coach, HopStair.com, chief glue & cheerleader, University of Oxford/ex-NHS
"Did you know that Ghanaians aren't very confident people?" I heard this a few times whilst in Ghana from a few Ghanaians when speaking about #confidence and HopStair®. It's so interesting see the different manifestations of low confidence and the different definitions of what people perceive confidence to be. The superficial reasons as to why people struggle with confidence tend to be different but the deep reasons why are pretty much universal: - shame & embarrassment - societal / cultural pressures or restrictions - lack of understanding of self (what do I want, who am I, where do I want to be, what brings me joy) - lack of work to disentangle the child & parent self, towards the adult version of self - misconceptions about what #confidence is (e.g. the classic: you have to be loud) - trauma/abuse/adverse events I can't wait to bring HopStair® and confidence building to Africa, starting with the University of Ghana and University of Cape Town. Stay tuned :)

In today's #SpeakUpSunday we want to talk about the importance of embracing diversity for healing by sharing some key resources for addressing trauma recovery in Australian indigenous communities. In supporting indigenous Australian communities on their healing journey from trauma, it's crucial to recognise the uniqueness of each culture and tailor our approaches accordingly. In our core community in Kenya, we understand that the nature of cultural practices and behaviours varies, necessitating diverse strategies. We can't just apply Western practices in Kenya as it simply does not meet the needs of our family and the people we care for. Western healing models often focus on therapeutic methods like Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, but it's also important to integrate cultural healing for a holistic approach. Cultural healing emphasises individual journeys, grounded in local knowledge and values. Prioritising safety for children, adults, and families, it involves a whole community response. Let's shift the focus from mere cultural awareness training to developing sophisticated, culturally safe systems and services. Culture and cultural safety must take centre stage in our work, ensuring that healing progresses at the individual's pace, not the our pace. This is why our Kenyan team are so vital to our work. We need their advice and guidance to ensure that our practices are applicable to Kenyans and that we can use this local approach not just to support those in our immediate care, but to help build structural approaches in the broader community. You can read more about taking a cultural approach to trauma and healing in the resources shared by the amazing folk over at National Centre for Action on Child Sexual Abuse and specifically the pdf paper on an Australian Indigenous approach (at the top) https://lnkd.in/eXh-jJrb #SpeakUp #NotSilent #RafikiMwema #HereForChange

Understanding Labelling Theory in the Context of Nigeria: A Sociological Perspective In today's Nigeria, Labelling Theory offers profound insights into the dynamics of social behavior and perception. This theory suggests that the labels we assign to individuals can significantly shape their actions and identities. Consider the implications within the realm of crime and justice. When individuals are labelled as criminals, whether by law enforcement, media, or society at large, they often internalize this label, leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy. This can exacerbate criminal behavior and perpetuate a cycle of deviance. Recent events in Nigeria underscore the relevance of Labelling Theory. For instance, the widespread stigmatization of certain communities or ethnic groups as inherently criminal can fuel discrimination and marginalization. This, in turn, may push individuals towards illicit activities as they struggle to break free from societal stereotypes. Moreover, in the age of social media and instant communication, labels can spread rapidly and have far-reaching consequences. A single accusation or rumor can tarnish reputations and influence how individuals are treated by their peers, employers, and institutions. To mitigate the negative effects of labelling in Nigeria, it's essential to promote a more nuanced understanding of social behavior. This involves challenging stereotypes, addressing systemic inequalities, and fostering empathy and inclusivity. By reframing narratives and offering support rather than stigma, we can empower individuals to defy the labels imposed upon them and strive for positive change. #LabellingTheory #Sociology #Nigeria #SocialJustice
