Re: Topic Tuesday// Speak Up: The Power in Using Your Voice // Tuesday 30th January 2024 5:30-7PM AEDT
I'm thinking that speaking up and making requests to enhance my safety allows others to know what I need to feel safe

Great questions @Quilly, and important! For my part, I feel like a lot depends on context and the specific situation. I'm really curious if anyone else in the community has any ideas? @exploring @chibam @Loiter @Patchworks @Shaz51 @Oaktree @nula_ray @Glisten @Snowie

There are obvious safety risks to speaking up earnestly. The obvious example is that if you speak up in terms of revealing your suicidalness, you run the risk of having your freedoms taken away from you (e.g. by being committed). So there is a need to be careful when speaking up and to mind what you say. Makes honesty very difficult in many situations, TBH.
