EPISODE #76: Some Holes In Our Social Safety Net

Kitchen Table Conversations with Angela Geddes

In this episode, Angela shares information about programs and services aimed to support people in need. She also discusses how sometimes these programs and services fall short and that we all can help to clarify the myths associated with income and disability support and realize that the system is not always easy to navigate, and oftentimes it is not utilized to its full potential; meaning that we are not seeing the improved outcomes that we are all hoping for with the financial investments made. Angela gives examples of our attempts made to create an inclusive society, actually doing the opposite.
