Conversations About Body Autonomy, Unsafe Touch, and Emotional Trust with Joy Stephenson-Laws
How can we empower kids to speak up about abuse? How do you teach kids to communicate feelings about body sensations in their own language?
In this series on healthcare and social disparities, Dr. Jill Wener, a board-certified Internal Medicine specialist, anti-racism educator, meditation expert, and tapping practitioner, interviews experts and gives her own insights into multiple fields relating to social justice and anti-racism. In this episode, Jill interviews Joy Stephenson-Laws, author of Secrets That Sparkle (and Secrets That Sting). This book is a resource for parents, educators, and therapists to start early conversations about body autonomy, unsafe touch, and emotional trust, all in a way that’s age-appropriate and empowering. Dr. Jill and Joy talk about the importance of teaching kids to communicate when they're not feeling safe.
