“We're all affected by horrific, graphic images to some degree,” said Rick Williamson, a clinical psychologist and executive director of the Emmada Institute of Behavioral Health. “There's a natural physiological response to things that are horrendous and things that are violent. Depending on how one registers those instances, that stress response can be tremendous.”
“There is a cost to exposure to suffering, particularly human engineered suffering within a community. You do not have to be the direct recipient of something horrible to actually be dealing with the traumas.”No matter where you are, or what your relation is to the region, everyone with a smartphone has been experiencing some level of collective trauma.
Social connection has the ability to counteract some of the negative effects of heightened cortisol by evoking the production of Oxytocin, a hormone that is associated with bonding and falling in love. Social connection also promotes feelings of safety, which is particularly important in times that might feel physically or psychologically dangerous, Williamson said.
“We try to help people be attuned to themselves and take a proactive stance,” he said. “If you can catch this early, you can figure out how to limit your exposure and engage in things that allow you to process through some of these emotions.”While some may tend to abandon routines, including spiritual or religious ones, staying connected with these practices is particularly important in dire times in order to cultivate some sense of hope, Williamson said.
“Respectfully acknowledge the moment,” he said. “That can be done in a simple reach out, even if it doesn't go into an hours-long conversation. It’s important that people understand that members of their communities are aware of what they might be dealing with.” According to United Healthcare Workers West, the union representing the workers, the strike was prompted by the hospital’s “bad faith bargaining and other illegal tactics” following the expiration of their previous contract in August.
The striking workers, Sanitate said, are asking for comparable wages that Providence workers in the Tarzana and Mission Hills locations get. “It's not keeping up with the cost of living, we were everybody's heroes three years ago, and they were sending us support and sending us food, but that doesn't pay rent,” she said. “It doesn't buy groceries, it doesn't pay for gas, and our contract has not kept up with that, so it's only gotten worse each corresponding year.”
"The good news is no big wind events and no real fire danger in the future," said senior forecaster Andrew Roarke from the National Weather Service.Taking a look ahead: Tuesday will be 3 to 6 degrees warmer but come Wednesday, temperatures will drop 4 to 8 degrees and there's a slight chance of drizzle.Expect west winds between 25 to 35 mph, gusts between 45 to 60 mph along the San Bernardino and Riverside county mountains including Coachella Valley until 11 a.m.
“When we come here we leave behind family, our history, our childhood,” said Magali Garcia de Alba to the group. She’s a mental health promoter with the L.A. County Department of Mental Health who led the hour-long workshop in a campus classroom.“What happens when you yearn for all those things? You can stagnate, you don’t adapt, and that can lead to depression,” she said.
He applauds Mission’s efforts. He used to be a clinician at Pasadena City College and still works with the For a few hundred dollars a year, the California Geologic Energy Management agency, or CalGEM, allows drillers to leave wells uncapped rather than paying to plug them. As they remain unplugged, the wells put low-income, mostly LatinoThe agency reasons that companies might start producing oil from the wells again. But that doesn’t often happen, according to aby Carbon Tracker Initiative, a London-based think tank.
Louisiana and Missouri sued the government, contending it has been violating the First Amendment by pressuring social media companies to correct or modify what the government deems to be misinformation online. The case is part of long-running conservative claims that liberal tech company owners are in cahoots with government officials in an attempt to suppress conservative views.
History bears that out, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said in the government's brief. She also noted that social media companies have their own First Amendment rights to decide what content to use.Writing for the three, Justice Alito said that the government had failed to provide"any concrete proof" of imminent harm from the Fifth Circuit's ruling.
There are a lot of reasons why people are fascinated by the rise and fall of ancient empires, gender dynamics aside. Part of what’s driving that interest is the question: How could something so big and so advanced fail? And, more pressingly: Could something similar happen to us? Between rampaging wildfires, a rise in political violence, and the public’s trust in government at record lows, it doesn’t seem so far-fetched that America could go up in smoke.
What matters most, the Complexity Science Hub’s study posits, is inequality and political polarization. Declining living standards tend to lead to dissatisfaction among the general population, while wealthy elites compete for prestigious positions. As pressures rise and society fractures, the government loses legitimacy, making it harder to address challenges collectively.
