This Labor Day weekend, as folks whose jobs were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic take on the extra burden of finding new work, we'll open replaying a June segment with a representative from the Workforce Alliance of South Central CT to review new and enhanced online training and resources.

Then we'll learn how the COVID-19 pandemic is taking a toll on folks trying to work through recovery - or who continue to experience mental health challenges. September is National Recovery Month, and there's nobody better to discuss the current state of recovery practices than with the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and principle at Aware Recovery Care.

September is also Preparedness Month, and with our local communities already experiencing tropical storms, tornadoes, extended power outages, and even some flooding, we're going to close chatting with the Ready campaign director at FEMA - the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency.

We're going to preview a very different CT NOFA OrganiCONN Winter Conference as the event we normally cover in person for an entire show goes virtual. We'll chat with the conference coordinator about how you can get the most from this online experience without getting your hands dirty.

Then we're returning to the subject of wind power and its potential for providing critical climate benefits, economic development, jobs, and more. So stick around as we talk it up with representatives from Eversource Energy and Ørsted Offshore North America who will be developing offshore wind farms right off the Connecticut coastline.

And we'll wrap introducing yet another boutique Connecticut nonprofit that started as a grassroots movement to help connect young apply STEM education to doing good with the founder of Random Hacks of Kindness Junior.

Our first field report in weeks finds us at Newtown's first-ever drive-up COVID-19 testing center. Check our chat with a PhysicianOne representative, the community's lead health official and First Selectman talking about testing and more.

Then we'll celebrate all the front line responders and kick off National EMS week with a small town EMS volunteer and a municipal fire official about how they work with dispatchers and medical professionals to save lives 24/7 and especially during the pandemic.

And we'll close with a medical expert representing Greenbrook TMS NeuroHealth Centers. We'll get a crash course on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation / TMS and how it could help mitigate depression or anxiety as a result of the coronavirus emergency or other life challenges.
