Joyce Richman facilitated a panel discussion at a special December 2010 meeting of the FPC Jobs Group. Hosted at the First Presbyterian Church in Greensboro, NC, the panel worked with more than 70 people to manage the effects that long-term unemployment is having on families. When one member of the family is unemployed, they whole system has to deal with it. The program was designed to provide families with some ways to cope emotionally and strategies for job seekers. Joyce and other panelists responded to questions from the audience about:
- how to stay focused on the job search
- understanding the needs of all the family members affected by job loss and long-term unemployment
- the emotional roller coaster within families when there is job loss
- tools for supporting each other during difficult times
