Episode 8 - When Home Isn’t Safe: GBV, Kids, and CAS

Wednesday, August 6, 2025 • Duration 36:35

In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Butt and Jacqueline McGann, Service Managers from the Children's Aid Society Oxford, to talk openly about what CAS really does—and what it doesn’t.⁠We unpack some of the biggest misconceptions about working with CAS, what happens when a concern is reported, and how their work supports families, not just investigates them.⁠If you’ve ever felt unsure or uneasy about calling CAS—or just want to better understand their role—this one’s for you.Links from our conversation: Adverse Childhood Experience Questionnaire: https://www.acesaware.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/ACE-Questionnaire-for-Adults-Identified-English-rev.7.26.22.pdfResources + Support: Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (Emergency shelter & 24/7 crisis line)Website: www.daso.caCrisis Line Toll-Free Number: 1-800-265-1938Ingamo Homes (Second stage housing & support)Website: www.ingamohomes.comChildren's Aid Society OxfordWebsite: https://www.casoxford.on.ca/Follow us on Instagram: @canwetalkaboutthat

Episode 3 - From Then to Now: The History of GBV Services in Oxford County with Brenda Boswell

Wednesday, July 2, 2025 • Duration 27:59

What did support for survivors of gender-based violence look like 50 years ago — and how did we get to where we are now? In this episode, we sit down with Brenda Boswell, a longtime advocate and frontline worker, to look back on the early days of GBV services in Oxford County.

Episode 2 - Reacting to Reddit: “Am I in an abusive relationship?”

Wednesday, June 25, 2025 • Duration 13:15

In this episode, I’m joined by three incredible guests working on the frontlines of gender-based violence support: Czarina Garcia (Manager of Programs and Outreach at Ingamo Homes), Natasha McMillan (Outreach Worker at DASO), and Brooke McCoy (Child and Youth Worker at Ingamo Homes).

Together, we live-react to a Reddit post that starts out like a lot of relationships do—loving, supportive, even “perfect.” But as the story unfolds, we hear about a boyfriend who screams, smashes things, threatens to leave during fights, controls the space at home, and rarely apologizes—yet expects sex just days later.

So… is this abuse?

We unpack the signs, talk about why situations like this can feel confusing, and help break down what emotional and psychological abuse can actually look like. It’s honest, grounded, and full of insight from the people who do this work every day.

Tune in to hear what our guests think—and maybe start seeing things a little differently.

Tuesday, June 17, 2025 • Duration 38:07

You’ve probably seen terms like GBV (gender-based violence) or IPV (intimate partner violence) popping up more and more online — but what do they really mean? And why does the language matter?

In this kickoff episode, we sit down with Ashley Brown, Executive Director of Domestic Abuse Services Oxford, to unpack the acronyms, and how they show up in real life. This episode is about making the conversation more human — because violence isn’t just a statistic. It’s something people in our community live through every day.
