Studies show that people with disabilities are more likely to experience abuse than people without them as abuse is premised on power and control. That’s what we’re discussing on the Self Care Corner this morning as we look at the abuse of persons living with disabilities. Joining us for this conversation is Ado Bakasa - Co-ordinator of youth affairs at the NCPD & GBV peer counsellor.

Self Care Corner: The abuse of persons living with disabilities

Self Care 21 Sep

The continued reports of violence against women are leaving many South Africans angry, grieving and afraid. For survivors of gender-based violence, these stories can also reopen emotional wounds and trigger painful memories. 

But even women who have not personally experienced GBV may find themselves living with heightened anxiety and constantly questioning their safety. 

How do survivors begin to heal, and how can women remain aware without allowing fear to consume their daily lives? Joining us to help navigate trauma, triggers and the emotional weight of the current environment is therapist, educator and trauma-informed facilitator Louise Westerhout, whose work engages with GBV, trauma, healing, consent and social justice.

The thyroid is a small gland, but the hormones it produces influence almost every part of the body. When it becomes underactive or overactive, the symptoms can easily be mistaken for stress, ageing or other health problems. This morning in the Self Care Corner, we’re joined by a medical doctor Dr Dakalo Ndouvhada, to help us understand the different thyroid disorders, the warning signs we should not ignore and the treatment options available.
