In this explosive episode, we sit down with clinical support specialist Salome to unpack the most critical social crises facing our communities today—from the devastating rise of drug abuse among talented youth to the invisible epidemic of domestic violence affecting men and the systemic hurdles faced by people of colour.

Salome, a specialist in mental health, drug and alcohol, and family domestic violence, speaks with raw, human clarity about the true cost of these crises, sharing heartbreaking stories and demanding immediate systemic change.

-The War on Talent: Salome reveals the shocking truth about how drug abuse is specifically targeting and "killing" the talented ones, the ones with brains, and what this means for our future leaders.

-The Invisible Victim: A candid and urgent discussion on how the lack of resources and public attention is devastating the mental health of men who are victims of family domestic violence, leading to severe depression and isolation.

-The Weight of Colour: A powerful personal account of having to "work twice" as hard in the professional sphere due to racial bias, and why organisations must start treating all people equally.

-The Systemic Gap: Why state and federal funding efforts are failing on the ground, and the critical need for locally funded, community-led, and culturally specific mentorship programs.

In this powerful episode, Jaya Dantas takes us on a heartbreaking and inspiring journey, sharing her unique perspective from living through the HIV pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa, the rebuilding efforts after the Rwandan genocide, and her work with refugee movements globally. She reveals the shocking truth about the long-term health impacts of war, including sexual violence (on both men and women) and the trauma of forced displacement and mass refugee movements.

What You Will Learn:

-The devastating and lasting mental health impacts of protracted conflict on populations in places like Ukraine, Rwanda, and the Balkans.

-The connection between global war zones and health equity crises in developed nations like Australia.

-The human cost of war: the realities of rape as a weapon of war and the immense challenges of rebuilding decimated health systems.

-A look into the unseen battles at home: youth at risk, the challenges of the foster care system, and the crisis of prescription drug addiction (Oxycodone, Xanax).

-The often-unacknowledged care burden faced by women dealing with elderly parents or children with complex disabilities.

Jaya Dantas powerfully contrasts the brutality of war with the fundamental need for peace and the extraordinary human resilience she has witnessed worldwide. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of global health, human rights, and the fight for social justice in a complex world.
