Tuesday, June 19 – Agricultural producers can face serious stress, especially when commodity prices are low. It increases their vulnerability to anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and occasionally but infrequently, even suicide. Today we visit with psychologist Michael Rosmann, who has recently been writing about behavioral health in his column, which appears in several rural publications. ~~~ The Alexander Public School District made a bold decision this spring, moving to a 4-day school week beginning next fall. In an excerpt from The Cutting Ed podcast, host Tom Gerhardt visits about the plan with kindergarten teacher Deb Hankins. ~~~ The Storycorps mobile studio is setting up for a month-long stay in Bismarck. Today we share a clip from Storycorps as brothers Russell and Remmick Wadsworth talk about navigating adult life together as people with autism.
