Dear Friends,
In normal times, each of us does our best to take personal responsibility to maintain our mental and social health. But in these times of social distancing, please reach out to those who might already be disconnected. Consider picking up the phone, facetime, Zoom or connecting in other ways with people we love and a few who could use our love. Let’s listen as much as they will let us. True to our belief in the principles of restorative practices, these podcasts offer diverse perspectives on life during these times.
Podcasts for your consideration-
Coronavirus: How Emotional Contagion Exacts a Toll, by Wharton management professor Sigal Barsade. She outlines three common-sense steps to help deal with the understandable impact of high emotions.
Coronavirus: Wisdom from a Social Justice Lense, Healing Justice Podcast The host of this podcast speaks from a place of social justice (which is different from restorative practices).
Coronavirus: Why It Matters Sylvia Burwell, former United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tom Frieden, former Director, Centers for Disease Control and more.
Speaking of Psychology: Coronavirus Anxietywww.apa.org › research › action › coronavirus-anxiety Hopefully we will be out of this crisis by May 22, so please sign up for the Symposium on Mental Health and Restorative Practices, at Rhode Island College. Of course if we need to cancel or postpone, we’ll quickly issue refunds.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your community.
