#and addressing other factors of structural ableism and ableist attitudes

[reduxskullduggerry]

This anti-abuse training I’m taking (in a healthcare context) fundamentally demonstrates why there needs to be a systemic solution to abuse in healthcare. If the main issue that causes abuse in healthcare setting me is overworked and burned out workers (bc they are picking up too many shifts either due to the place being understaffed or bc they aren’t paid enough to work an appropriate number of hours), then the #of hours per week/day someone works needs to be capped and their pay needs to be dramatically increased (to both reduce the need of overtime and to actually get people to work in the field). The solution of the worker enforcing work/life balance and managing stress when management is constantly guilting them into picking up additional shifts and not paying them sufficiently is absolutely bullshit and not realistic.
