We fear what we do not know about and do not know about what fears us. I believe that many of the issues we face as individuals can result in ‘hate crime’ so disability, health issues, depression and so on result in extreme emotions. I wonder if the more we ‘see it’ talk about it, share about it the less fearful it becomes and the more open individuals may be to discussing it. As members of the iHV we should aim to get one piece of HV ‘news’ in to the local paper every week – we almost need a member of the team to be responsible for this through our comms channels. Maybe if we become more familiar with these things then maybe we will not fear them so much?
