From Target to Advocate - with Christin Peeples: Christin Peeples shares the story of her exposure to 10 years of workplace bullying and abuse, and how it affected her both emotionally and physically, as well as how this experience led her to form a non-profit that focuses on assisting others that are facing similar circumstances. Her perspective is that often, abusive behavior is directed not at those who are weak and incompetent, but at those that are strong and highly competent. Christin uses her story to share practical tips and strategies to help targets of abusive workplace behavior deal with the impacts and find a path to better psychological health and safety. Her lived experience has transformed her from the target of abuse to an advocate for dignity in the workplace. by Psych Health and Safety Podcast USA
