Marginalized communities encompass a diverse array of groups, including ethnic minorities, low-income families, and individuals with disabilities, among others. These communities confront systemic barriers that impede their access to resources and opportunities, perpetuating social, economic, and political exclusion. Struggling to obtain basic necessities, education, healthcare, and employment opportunities, their plight persists globally. At PSC, we're on a mission to transform the lives of marginalized communities by building their personal capacity and increasing incomes, thereby equalizing financial opportunities and ultimately enabling them to lead better lives and livelihoods. #MarginalizedCommunities #PeopleSystemsConsultancy #Sustainability #ImpactMaker

Social stratification is the hierarchical arrangement of individuals or groups in society based on factors like wealth, power, and status. This structure shapes opportunities and life outcomes, with those in higher strata often enjoying better access to resources such as education and healthcare. Class dynamics, rooted in these stratifications, influence social interactions and mobility, perpetuating cycles of privilege and disadvantage. Addressing social stratification requires policies that promote equality, empower marginalized groups, and foster awareness about the impacts of inequality on societal cohesion and individual well-being. #SocialStratification #ClassDynamics #Inequality #SocialJustice #SocioeconomicMobility

Why is it that? Society must recognize that neurodiverse populations require more resources and accommodations to thrive. Achieving living wages will require collective action, community support networks, alternative housing/transit models, and a shift to an ethic of interdependence and mutual care rather than individualism. Prioritizing people’s well-being over profits is key. #Mindshift #autism #neurodiversity #InclusionMatters

Still updating my past week as I transition & continue to grow in my role, & identify other avenues to reach, influence & inform #inclusiondiversity4all #economicgrowthcan. I was part of the 3 organisers (led on this) for reaching the youth "in their own space"!! It was an enlightening experience, full of new insights direct from the youth for me. They have passion, dreams, capacity, & ambitions for improving their livelihoods, some are already involved, others embarking in agricultural based livelihood projects as siblings, family or friends. Quite touching. Others are into arts, food outlets, some in diverse engineering initiatives. Opportunities to continue mentoring these focused young minds is vast, those interested or curious for more lets talk (DM). The event was a huge success! Thanks to the collaboration from Eduvest (Director Mr Muranda, Principal, V/Principal & their team), Miracle Helping Hand Foundation (MHHF Evangelist Farayi Mujeni - youth counselor (psycho-social & human well being)), SAY WHAT! (youth inclusion organisation - counselors reproductive health & related behaviours). And to all the artists & celebrities (e.g. Albert Nyathi) who committed their Saturday to engage, influence & help mold young minds yesterday. More posts will follow as I share a bit on the event in pictures and short clips! Drugs & substance abuse are a scourge, lets talk & lets profer alternatives, viable outlets for gainful time spent were we can for those we can (DM please - we can make a significant impact if we work together). #youthcangrowoureconomy #supportmentor1youth #youth4economicgrowth #agrilivelihoods4youth #letsbuild2gther

In some cases (thankfully not all cases), this can also apply to Autistic students, and other cases. Aside from saying an artificial group/style of management being involved, the lack of resources, strategies, and knowledge on Autism contributes to the 85%. That said, I aim to provide valuable insights for helping schools, businesses, etc, accept and appreciate the Autistic people of their culture. That's why I attempted to reach various Wisconsin High Schools and various colleges, to assist them in growing the Autism awareness, acceptance, and appreciation. #autism #autismadvocate #autismacceptance #autismappreciation

Combatting loneliness and social isolation is a collective effort. Did you know that older adults who participate in intergenerational programmes experience a 20% reduction in loneliness? Intergenerational relationships are vital and must be prioritised, especially at a time of drastic demographic change. By coming together, we can create a supportive network that enriches the lives of all generations. Interested in joining forces to expand opportunities for intergenerational practice and tackle loneliness and social isolation? Let's collaborate to create meaningful connections across generations. Together, we can make a tangible difference in combating these pressing issues. Reach out to us to explore how you can be part of this important mission! 🌟 #IntergenerationalPractice #CombatLoneliness #SocialIsolation #GIW24 #genconnectnz 🌟

Intergenerational connection is key for tackling ageism. In this blog, Charlotte Miller, co-founder of Intergenerational England discusses the 'intergenerational remedy' to ageism. "Intergenerational practices connect people across ages, sectors, and communities, challenging stereotypes and fostering social interaction."

Ageism stands as a stark barrier to the full potential of our longer lives, not only influencing societal attitudes but also infiltrating healthcare, where it can be most harmful. It's a pervasive issue that impacts everyone, reinforcing damaging stereotypes and hindering the ability of communities to support individuals of all ages. More than just a social ill, ageism carries profound economic costs, estimated at $63 billion annually in the U.S. alone. Tackling ageism is therefore not just a moral imperative but a critical move towards healthier, more inclusive, and economically robust societies. • • • • #bestagermodel #ageisjustanumber #fitover70 #bestager #ageism #defyageism #defyageprejudice #proaging #ageisonlyanumber #agediscrimination #agediversity #ageadvocate #socialadvocate #artagainstageism #StanfordCenterOnLongevity #stanford #stanforduniversity #everydayaging #agepositive #reinvention #agelessliving #embraceaging #dailymotivation #agingisart

🌟 Exploring the Strength of Intergenerational Connections 🌟 In a world that can sometimes feel fragmented, intergenerational care brings generations closer, fostering understanding, empathy, and a profound sense of community. It's a wonderful concept that benefits both our youth and our seniors. Engaging with older adults offers our younger generation valuable insights, life experiences, and a deeper appreciation for the wisdom of age. For seniors, spending time with children brings joy, vitality, and a renewed sense of purpose. Intergenerational care promotes a culture of inclusivity and mutual respect. #IntergenerationalConnections #BridgingGenerations #CommunityCaring #ElderlySupport #YouthEnrichment #GrowingTogether #InterconnectedAgeGroups #BuildingEmpathy #UnityInDiversity #TogetherWeThrive #InclusiveSociety #SocialChange #EmpowerOurSeniors #SupportOurYouth #CareAcrossGenerations #LearningFromOneAnother #FutureLeadership #SeniorCitizenship #NextGenLeaders #LinkedInNetworking #ConnectingThroughAges #InnovativeCaring Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with intergenerational care in the comments below! 👇 Let's continue working toward a more compassionate and closely connected society. 💫
