NY City offering workers therapy to cope with Trump-induced stress
- Thread starter anatta
- Start date
New York City is offering its municipal workforce counseling services and other support for dealing with election-year stress brought on by Donald Trump’s election.
In a Dec. 1 email, the de Blasio administration pointed to mental health resources that are available to workers who are “feeling distressed or vulnerable following the election results.”
“We have seen the concerns expressed on social media and we are monitoring them closely,” the emails reads.
The half-dozen agencies involved include the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Education, as well as Deputy Mayor for Strategic Policies Richard Buery, who is overseeing the city’s mental health initiative known as Thrive NYC.
Since the election, Mayor de Blasio has been reassuring New Yorkers that his administration will work to protect them from potentially harmful polices that have been proposed by Trump over the past year — particularly on immigration.
Asked about the email, City Hall press secretary Eric Phillips said it was a show of care for employees’ well-being.
“The post-election period has been anxiety-producing for many people, understandably,” he said. “When you throw the holidays into that, it can be a very difficult time for those coping with mental health challenges.”
Nearly 80 percent of city votes cast in the 2016 presidential election went to former Secretary of State and former New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

If true, I think it's legit. I think a lot of people might need that and for good reason. It's like witnessing an IED blowing up your best friend.

:0) My brother .. this is not about Castro or your remarks. This is about fierce opposition to Trump and everything he stands for.
This is fierce, but respectfully political debate, not about anything personal.
In spite of our political differences, I have great respect for you brother, always have.
Now stop your whining, get your ass back in this ring and put your dukes up.
:0) just kidding.

No, what Trumpies were doing BEFORE the election was crying.
The bottom line is that each side of this war gets to choose any weapons they need to fight this war.
Republicans have demonstrated, and continue to demonstrate that there are no limits nor bounds on the weapons you chose nor how you deploy them.
It's refreshing to see that democrats have finally caught on to the art of war.

I didn't support Trump in the primary nor did I vote for him in the general so I guess I'm different from others in that perspective. It's why you don't see me on here going all rah rah for Trump.
There is some serious crying going on though

Hate crimes? Most are bogus stories. Russia did not "influence" our election. That is what you tell yourself to keep from seeing the truth and why your side will continue to fail.
How many socialists (plus young student loan saturated underemployed urban 20 something beard sporting baristas) who wanted Sanders sat this one out because they were disaffected? Did that cost Hillary and usher in Trump and everything ugly he stands for?

I didn't think you voted for Trump .. but from one friend to another .. perhaps you shouldn't stand too close to his supporters or his policies. :0) Lots of fire coming that way.

Who knows how many did or didn't? Hillary Clinton was not an ideal candidate.
But the fact that nearly 3 million more Americans voted for Clinton can't/won't be over-looked .. and given the obvious manipulation of the contest, Sanders might not have won either.
But that's yesterday's news .. this is about the future.

We don't.
One thing you can count on, THEY will be providing all the ammunition we need to make a mockery of them.

Do you mean you and the voices in your head? Nobody cares what you think, Trump will get the EC votes and hopefully arseholes like Twatsky will go jump off a tall building.
