Managing Stress in Violent Times

This rebroadcast will hopefully encourage those dealing with STRESS to seek counseling or use the stress-relieving techniques discussed. So many professionals are trying to help in understanding our violent times; however, many of the solutions are increasing stress, specifically in classrooms. The association of mental disabilities with violence and gun control has also caused great controversy.

Discrimination of Disabled Students & Student Loans (Live)

This show is focused on the discrimination found with student loan debt, financial aid, and the lack of accommodations promised at admission. Several students, Veterans, teachers, and supporters of White Apple Institute lead the discussion about how they have been denied completion of their educational goals because of discrimination related to their disability. Most deficits seen in learning disabled adult students are identified in math, reading, and writing classes and require re-testing. Many who do not test with appropriate accommodations either drop-out or are forced out, leaving them underemployed and burdened with student loan debt.

Most of us have dealt with grief, illness, maybe a temporary or permanent disability, or loss of a loved one while trying to maintain job and school schedules. The feelings of hopelessness, frustration and so more can be overwhelming. There are ways to get through these times and still succeed as a student and maintain a good attendance record at school and work.
