Episode 12 (S4). Working with Sexual Abuse (feat. Lydia Guthrie).

Author: Nadia, Fran, Eugene March 6, 2022 Duration: 55:25
Content warning. In this episode Nadia, Fran and Eugene speak with Lydia Guthrie about her experience of working with sexual abuse. Like with all Social Matters episodes we try to have conversations which are helpful to people but we recognise that an episode about working with sexual abuse can impact people in different ways and can potentially be triggering. This message is to acknowledge this and invite you to stop listening to this episode at any time or to not listen to it at all.  ...

Grab a seat in the front room with Nadia, Fran, and Eugene, three practicing social workers who turn their shared profession into a compelling weekly conversation. The Social Matters Podcast is where the theoretical meets the practical, as they unpack the social, cultural, and scientific dimensions of the issues shaping our communities. You’ll hear the kind of debate that only happens between trusted friends-direct, informed, and often challenging, but never without warmth. They aren’t afraid of hard truths, yet their dynamic is rooted in a genuine, top-drawer humour that makes even the heaviest topics feel accessible and human. Each episode feels like you’re listening in on a crucial discussion that’s equal parts professional insight and personal reflection, all recorded from their own studio. This podcast digs into the why and how of society’s structures, offering listeners not just analysis but a sense of shared understanding. Tune in for a perspective that is both grounded in daily reality and thoughtfully connected to broader educational and cultural currents.
