https://simplecast.com Lateral Love The 4Rs Lateral Love podcast is a three-part series hosted by Roland Jones that was created to unpack the stigma around lateral violence and the struggles that exist within Indigenous communities when it comes to moving away from intergenerational trauma, toward lateral love. Throughout this series, we will share stories of navigating mental health within our contexts as young organizers and the negative impacts we experience facing lateral violence in our communities. We hope to shine a light on new ways of relating to one another, while being honest about our trauma responses and emotional burnout, and imagining something different for our futures. We hope that through acts of healing and lateral love, like mycelium, networks of young people can help to repair and strengthen our community & family support systems. 2022 4Rs Youth Movement en Thu, 7 Jul 2022 19:19:20 +0000 Thu, 7 Jul 2022 19:19:30 +0000 https://lateral-love.simplecast.com Lateral Love https://image.simplecastcdn.com/images/ee2bd5aa-4019-44bb-9179-78a7c3615821/570b505e-6475-4310-a887-8947cc39aadc/3000x3000/lateral-love-launch.jpg?aid=rss_feed https://lateral-love.simplecast.com episodic The 4Rs Lateral Love podcast is a three-part series hosted by Roland Jones that was created to unpack the stigma around lateral violence and the struggles that exist within Indigenous communities when it comes to moving away from intergenerational trauma, toward lateral love.
