NERD_0028 Honing Humanity in Our Work

Welcome to the rerelease of That Early Childhood Nerd! This episode originally aired in the fall of 2016...back then the podcast was called Cause an Effect. A lot has changed since then, including the host's name (from Heather Wenig to Heather Bernt-Santy) but we hope you will tune in! 

In this episode, Heather is joined by one of her "bonus kids," Brie McKnight to discuss similarities in the ways early life and end of life can be dehumanizing if those working with them are not intentional.

"In total institutions, there are inherent tendencies that work in concert to dehumanize all the members, including the staff." (Jim Greenman)
