Listen "The 'changing face of poverty', Taking a 'mental health break' - the signs to look for, & what to do as the victim of a porch pirate"
Episode Synopsis
WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR THURSDAY, DEC. 5TH
The ‘changing face of poverty’… it’s a term that more and more organizations are using… and according to the latest ‘quality of life’ survey, more Calgarians than ever before are struggling to meet basic needs. We discuss the current ‘need’ in our City with Susan Brooke, “Vice-President of Community Impact and Partnerships” for the United Way Calgary and Area.
Next – it’s our “Mental Health Moment” with Karen Gallagher-Burt, Social Worker and Mental Health Advocate. This time out, Karen shares with us the importance of taking a ‘Mental Health Break’ – and the signs you should be on the look out for - when it’s time to do so.
And finally – “It’s the most wonderful time of year”. A time for gift giving and receiving - BUT – it’s also a very busy time of the year for those ‘Grinches’ known as ‘Porch Pirates’. As a consumer, do you have any ‘recourse’ whatsoever if you’ve fallen victim to a package that’s been snatched off your front porch? We tackle the topic with Ben Stickle – Professor of Criminal Justice at Middle Tennessee State University.
