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.

It's November 1, that means time for open enrollment on the CT Health Insurance Exchange. So we'll bring in a representative from one of the original exchange providers - ConnectiCare with all you need to know if your signing up.

Then we'll ring up state Senator Matt Lesser for a heads-up on a number of healthcare products the CT Insurance Dept is recommending you should avoid.

Finally, we'll circle back with cybersecurity expert Pamela Gupta following the latest Northeast Annual Cybersecurity Summit - to hear what's keeping her up nights, and a few specific tips for homeowners, students, and businesses to keep your data and cyberworld better protected.

Protecting one of your most fundamental rights and privileges as a Connecticut resident & an American - the votes you cast in on Election Day - is the subject of today's chat with the director of the USC Election Cybersecurity Initiative.

Then we'll move through a busy agenda of subjects with Connecticut's Insurance Commissioner: including a new free life insurance program for front line COVID-19 health workers, and no cost coronavirus testing for all.

And we'll move into LGBTQ Pride Month hosting a candid conversation with State Rep Raghib Allie-Brennan - who spent his adult life working with local LGBTQ initiatives and supporting those struggling with stigmas and prejudice as they define their own sexuality.
