In this episode, mental health specialist Dr. John Swinton shares his many years as a psychiatric nurse and advocate for community care and inclusion. He says, "When you spend time with people who see the world differently, you begin to see the world differently," and until we spend that time, we will continue to struggle with difference and diversity. Dr. Swinton is a mental health specialist and founder of the Center for Spirituality, Health, and Disability at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. Through his years as a mental health practitioner, John sees the western concept of time as difficult and even deadly for people with disabilities. A worldview driven by the demands of the clock makes the lives of those with dementia, neurological and intellectual disabilities seem pointless, and he encourages us to walk slowly and time-fully with those whom society desires to leave behind.
