Latest segment in the audio broadcast of Policies of Exclusion, Poverty and Health: Stories from 
the front.

SYNOPSIS:

Fallon, who comes from an upper middle-class background, found herself applying for BC social 
assistance after the breakup of her first marriage. Not only did she struggle with her own 
preconceptions about people on welfare - lazy, unwilling to work, shiftless -, she found her 
condition, including her health, worsening as one intervention after another were denied her by 
the system.

Fallon eventually became a passionate and effective client advocate, having learned about BC 
social assistance from both sides of the desk.

upgrade the channel from the free plan. Therefore, to preserve the space under the current plan, 
I'll be removing the lowest-rated episodes.
