I suspect the best way to move this conversation forward is for people who are dissatisfied with the community health team to read the appendix in Julia’s article, identify specific cases from the appendix they believe were likely mishandled, and explain what should’ve been done differently in order for more survivors to come forward. (Of course, it is impossible to say for sure without knowing more details of each case, but I for one would be curious to read your guesses.)
I feel the conversation is more likely to generate productive change if we focus on specific ways things could’ve been done differently in specific cases. I fear that a vaguer, higher-level discussion runs the risk of not going anywhere, and just creating frustration.
I don’t think that appendix has enough information to give people the ability to comment on what would have made people be more or less comfortable coming to us with a concern in those situations. I want there to be room for broader discussion (though if people do have specific ideas, I’m interested to hear them). Our team will be continuing to work on improving our practices here, and we welcome suggestions for what we could be doing better.
Thanks for chiming in.
