• Creativity and music are powerful ways of reaching new audiences, or reaching 'old' audiences in new ways
• Wild Card Podcast Series ... is also a 'Symphony of us' !
• We are all human beings - be curious and find out about others. You will have far more in common than you have differences. Connections are everywhere.
• It is courageous and often painful to share 'lived experience stories'
• The 'Wild Card Whose Shoes' podcast series now has lots of powerful stories - please listen to them and help spread the word.
• How about including some of them, or relevant clips from them, in clinical education?
• Let's continue building the #WMTY social movement, finding out what really matters to people in the most holistic sense, and truly listening.
• Wild cards, please disturb’ people, pirates and shooglers - JOIN US!
