Are restraints ethical? With Marc Tumeinski, PhD.

This podcast episode was recorded many months ago. It was an obvious oversight that we didn’t talk about the use of restraints and violence against black people.

The recent death of George Floyd is currently in the media and well known.

However, restraints have been killing Black people and people with disabilities and other devalued groups in great numbers every year for decades.

I’ve attached one article in the full show notes (one of many available) that shows that Black people experience restraint use more frequently than white people in services and other articles about restraints in human services.

I encourage each of you to spend some time thinking about your position on the use of restraints. It becomes more complex the deeper you look into the issue. Resist the urge to think that you’ve got this all figured out! ☺
