Firstly I want to pre-warn you that my guest Meghan Joyce Tozer and I discuss some tough topics during this episode. Today’s podcast talks about sexual abuse and suicide. We encourage you to keep this in mind when listening to this podcast. Please be aware, especially if younger ears are listening, and please click play with care.
CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 141
Sexual assault and harassment, sadly happens in schools on a too regular basis, whether that’s happening peer to peer or even between teacher to student. We hope our children never have to experience this. Knowing how to parent our children to take ownership of their bodies, so they know how to say no is key. We discuss how to navigate through abuse, bullying, harassment so they can get help is just as vital.
In this episode, I speak with Meghan Joyce Tozer, author of the critically acclaimed novel Night, Forgotten and her annotated middle school diary, UnSlut: A Diary and a Memoir, which she wrote under the pen name Emily Lindin.
The topics we cover are:
How Meghan came to work in this area
The catalyst for sharing her experience
The abuse and eventual suicide of Rehtaeh Parsons and Audrey Pott
Cyber bullying; how technology means bullying is beyond the school gate
The work of the non-profit organization called Stop Sexual Assault in Schools
Preventative measures schools can put in place including Sash Clubs
What parents can do to support their child at home
How Meghan rests and relaxes
