130: SLPs Partnering with Overseas Organizations with Amanda Hitchins, MS, CCC-SLP Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

Everyone who works in a healthcare field is motivated and inspired by the idea of helping others, and many of us are also interested in helping folks outside of our borders and outside of our cultures. But it can be challenging to identify what “helping” really means. Are you really helping, or does it just FEEL like you’re helping? After a decade of work with a rehabilitation center and special needs school in Eastern Congo, this talk will review questions that ethical SLP’s need to ask ourselves before getting involved in international practice in “developing” or “majority world” countries.
