Peggy explains what compassion fatigue is and how it's impacted so many in our community, especially in the education and health care sectors.  She gives practical advice and real world examples of some of the struggles we are all dealing with, knowingly or unknowingly throughout the day.  Peggy also give suggestions on different ways to process and work through the very natural feelings that people have.



Jeff Slakey sat down with Anisa Miller, Counselor, MA, LMHC, SUDP who has been studying mindfulness to discuss the topic as part of a series of videos for the Shelton School District Employee Assistance Program.  The conversations will also be available to the public.


Anisa talks about the rise of mindfulness in the public consciousness since early conversations in the 1960's with Timothy Leary and how it reached new audiences with the availability of brain scans the '90s to now with the multiple studies showing its effectiveness.   With the pandemic and our seemingly always connected lifestyles, this topic could not be more timely.  


Anisa offers simple tips and practical advice on how even 15 seconds can help start a journey of mindfulness.
