I just rediscovered two old posts/threads of mine, that explain pretty well, why I want to go into pedagogy now (I didn't know it back then - too busy working on my depression and hating school):

I want to protect children.
I want to provide them a save environment to thrive and talk about their troubles.
In a perfect school system kids would learn mental hygiene and get therapy before they learn integrals and the uncritical history of wars and power abuse. That would prevent so much domestic abuse, because it would be caught early.
And teaching kids emotional and social competence before teaching them applied capitalism will prevent abuse, division, exploitation and hate in the future.

I want to teach children to be happier than me, less abusive than my stepdad, more empathetic than my mom and more protective of future generations than my teachers were.

That's why I'm studying animal assisted pedagogy and will start studying social pedagogy, trauma pedagogy and environmental pedagogy this fall.

How housing can help: New research on the Low-income Housing Tax Credit Program finds a link between ⬆️ greater availability of affordable housing and ⬇️ lower emergency department visits due to intimate partner violence.

Increasing access to affordable housing may be a strategy to help reduce serious IPV.

SpringerLinkThe Association of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program and Intimate Partner Violence Related Emergency Department Visits - Journal of Family ViolencePurpose To examine the association of increasing access to affordable housing through the Low-income Housing Tax Credit Program with non-fatal intimate partner violence (IPV) among women. Methods We used 2005–2014 data from the State Emergency Department Database (SEDD) and the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) program, a federal program providing tax incentives to support the construction of affordable housing units, to examine the association between the number of LIHTC units available and rates of IPV-related emergency department visits. We conducted generalized linear regression comparing state-years with above the median number of LIHTC units (> 28 units per 100,000 population) to those with below the median number of units (≤ 28 LIHTC units per 100,000 population). We adjusted the analyses for time-varying indicators of state median household income, percent population by race/ethnicity, percent population unemployed, violent crime rate, refundable Earned Income Tax Credits, maximum Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefit for family of 3, and minimum wage. Results We found that greater availability of LIHTC units (> 28 vs. ≤ 28 LIHTC units per 100,000 population) was associated with decreased rates of IPV-related emergency department visits among women (RR 0.90; 95% CI 0.84, 0.97). Conclusions Increasing access to affordable housing, an important social determinant of health, through the LIHTC program may be an important component of strategies to prevent IPV severe enough to warrant an ED visit.
