Parenting is Political with Sophie Moskowitz feat. GEORGE PARKER!!
Description
In this Parenting is Political episode, Sophie sits down to kōrero with Dr George Parker (they/them) for a conversation about why representation and inclusion matter in healthcare and social services - for all whānau but especially for members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
George talks us through their journey from midwifery, to advocacy mahi with Women's Health Action, and then into academic research as they discovered gaps in the available data. We discuss the difference that safe, inclusive, whānau-centred care can make on people's wellbeing.
George shares their knowledge and experience so generously and, in our opinion, this should be essential listening for anyone working in the perinatal health and support space.
George also mentions the publishing house Flamingo Rampant, who published their children's book "Bell's Knock Knock Birthday".
If you are a parent of a child aged 18 and under, and identify as LGBTQIA+, please consider filling our the Inclusion Through Difference survey here.
