Which Side of the Mirror are You Looking At?

When trying to solve a wicked social problem it is all too easy to fall into the trap of looking into the mirror for a solution & only seeing what is reflected straight back at us, as in everything that has been tried before & more often than not failed.

What if instead we considered looking at the other side of the mirror?

Last week during Reboundog Global Networking West fellow Reboundog member Abdul- Rahman Safian Exec Dir of WACPAW & I where in a 1-2-1 conversation which became a 1-2-1 coaching session. Abdul was discussing how his shoot for the moon dream is to stop the dog meat trade in Ghana. Whilst the common default everyone thinks of is to consider challenging & changing culture through education, we considered the "other side of the mirror" scenario, where WACPAW would develop an alternative income source for those involved in the said trade. This was based on early market research Abdul had received from some traders that if an alternative was available, then they would consider giving up their current income source.

Such alternatives may include agricultural crops which can be done on a micro / individual scale with WACPAW becoming the market broker. This may attract micro-loan funding if the business model was developed correctly. Examples I thought of include, but not limited to, Runa (in it's early days) & Microloan Foundation and requires further research to develop an MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

Reboundog is proud to support Every Life Matters

From the very beginning Reboundog has been focused on both marginalised dogs & disenfranchised people.

Do you find sometimes that occasionally you meet someone for the first time & instantly resonate with their story? This happened to me recently at a whistle-stop visit, between other pre-scheduled meetings, to Carlisle Ambassadors where I met Nina who was hosting Every Life Matters showcase.

All too often we, disenfranchised people, feel unable to seek help when all feels lost. Last year I heard a story where a GP said that unless a person gives permission for another human to contact mental health support services on their behalf, then there is nothing they can do to initiate support! Well, I guess it's one less person on their practice budget...that is NOT acceptable!!

Every Life Matters is a suicide prevention and suicide bereavement charity operating across Cumbria. We work to create suicide safer communities through provision of training, campaigning, awareness raising, developing physical and digital resources and starting conversations about suicide across our local communities. We also provide practical and emotional support to individuals, families, organisations and employers bereaved and impacted by suicide.

Every Life Matters are working towards a zero suicide Cumbria, making suicide everyone’s business. We have a vision of a society where suicide is openly and widely discussed, where people feel able to seek help when all feels lost and are suitably supported when they do reach out, a society where everyone understands the role they can play in suicide prevention, and where those bereaved and impacted by suicide receive the support they need, when they need it. We are part of a growing movement aspiring to a zero-suicide society. We believe suicide is preventable.
