valuable words by Bruce Shapiro

Jessica Bal | During coronavirus lockdown in New York City, I’ve been aching to make in the most hands-on, meditative ways, mostly away from digital screens. I cut up some old velvet curtains and started embroidering text messages received from loved ones during quarantine—little notes guiding me during this strange and disconnected time.

This week we heard from our friend and colleague Bruce Shapiro, the Executive Director of the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, about how to manage the emotional of impact unremitting stress, and make some use of it. This audio was extracted from a longer conversation with our network of grantees and fellows.
