We're in the midst of two signifiant issues: protests following the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis and how to deal with the stress already brought on by the Coronavirus pandemic.
There are the protests leading to many discussions about race and what we can do to make a difference moving forward. Dr. Jack Daniels, President of Madison College and a leader in the black community, wrote an open letter to the community, begging for people to make a difference.

We spoke with mental health expert Dr. Shilagh Mirgain about dealing with stress and anxiety during this time of coronavirus and protests. She's great, and very upbeat.
