Hello all,
This week we are discussing the difficulties people face in reintegrating into society after incarceration, a situation which impacts every aspect of their lives, including mental health.
How does it feel to reenter the world with a felony charge on your back and a parole officer watching your every move? Ever been asked on an employment questionnaire whether you have a criminal record? What happens if you say “yes”?
Watch this video describing the challenges imposed on people who are leaving prison.
Warmup: What is one object you own that you should give away or discard, but probably never will?

Hello all,
Welcome back from Thanksgiving holiday. It will be good to gather together again on Zoom!
Warmup: If you could bring back one superstar of any field for one final performance, who would it be (Babe Ruth, James Dean, Elvis Presley…)?

Hi all,
This week in Stronger Together we will look at how our financial situation impacts our mental health. Join us for the discussion!
Please bring forward your thoughts about the Stronger Together topics and/or format, including any topic you would like to discuss.

Hi all,
This week we have an article to read instead of a video. It’s short though, so we can read it together if you don’t get to it before the meeting.
The article is “I Have Depression and Anxiety – 8 Things I Wish People Knew About It.”
Please bring your thoughts and questions to the discussion.
Warmup question: Tell us two boring but unlikely-to-be-known facts about yourself.

All,
I am looking forward to this week’s Stronger Together on Thursday, October 24 at 7 PM ET.
Here is a video that is an interview between the Chief Clinical Officer of a Company called NOCD, which provides online content and access to therapists that specialize in treatments for OCD. The entire video is 47 minutes, but, for the purpose of our discussion,
please watch the first 11 minutes prior to our meeting and then
together we can watch the chapter on “manifestation” (time stamps 16:42 – 20:10). Of course, feel free to watch all of it if you have the time. It is very informative.
