Harassment in the House

Sarah Cook, Ph.D., a professor of Psychology at Georgia State University. The #metoo movement has brought major attention to the plight of women and all those who deal with sexual harassment. It has challenged how the world sees sexual harassment in our communities, in the news industry, and in Hollywood.  Here to speak more about this is Sarah Cook who has confronted the problem of sexual violence as an emergency room rape companion, a social worker, an advocate for initial passage of VAWA, a teacher, and a researcher. She discusses how we as a society talk about sexual assault and harassment.

The holidays are a great time to celebrate with cultural customs and family traditions, but some of those traditions include a whole lot of fat and sugar. If you eat every plate of cookies that is brought to your door, every homemade pie your mother makes, every secret recipe you find at the holiday parties, you may wind up spending Christmas in the emergency room or New Years on a treadmill. How can we stay healthy while still enjoying the flavors of the holiday season? Judith Wurtman helps us know how we can make sure that Santa is the only one gaining the holiday weight this year.
