The Power of Prevention Podcast

Our guests connect the dots of how adverse exposures or events in childhood influence child development and attachment. As caregivers, they share their insights on dealing with social isolation, remote work, and home-schooling stresses imposed by the pandemic. Listen to gain empathy for young families and learn some healthy tips for coping.

Whether you are dealing with arthritis, an injury or simply aging, chronic pain can be very debilitating. When you practice self-management skills like healthy eating, balancing exercise with rest, appropriate use of medications, and dealing with difficult emotions, you activate your body’s natural defenses to cope with pain. You feel stronger, more resilient and create a more joyful life.

Julie Nicknair-Keon and Ashley Desrochers tell us how New Hampshire’s young adults are dealing with the high cost of living, low wages, access to affordable education and training and a lack of resources to deal and cope with life’s challenges. They share resources for healthy living, lifelong learning and emotional well-being.

We are joined by Traci Fowler, Senior Program Officer with the NH Charitable Foundation, to talk about what she’s seen in terms of prevention and what can be done to help people live, learn and thrive again in New Hampshire.

The Partnership @drugfreeNH sits down with guest Kim Haley, Student Assistance Program Coordinator for Second Start in Concord, to discuss what schools, and SAPs in particular, can do to help students live, learn, and to hopefully thrive in New Hampshire.
