  • We are aware of high risk exposure through work—”front line” store clerks, delivery drivers, healthcare workers, and police/fire/EMS. What we’re not sure of is how to address reengaging with the world as the economy begs for participation, and as people themselves are yearning for social contact after months of distancing.

Talking Points from Carol Barkes on what she can say in an interview
about How to Manage Your Anger:
 

1) Explore the root of your anger. Anger is a secondary emotion in that there are other emotions that manifest as anger. It can be especially helpful to explore the underlying emotions that are leading to anger as they provide insight into what is the root issue. It can also be helpful as these underlying emotions pave the way to a better understanding of your feelings by giving you more adjectives to use.
