Inspired from Gandhi ji's book 'Be The Change'; we recently facilitated a 'tree of violence' activity with children. Just as it was in the activity when it was done decades ago, our tree was also heavier on the passive violence side.
While physical violence is easy to identify and address, it is passive violence that we need to be very aware of.
When it comes to asking for help from a nurse, we are usually okay with that. But when the same help is given by a family caregiver, we find it difficult to accept and ask for it in the first place. These questions surfaced for me recently when I was in the position of a caregiver.
