This week, we begin our series with Tash, a manager of Mental Health and Justice Programs in the city of Toronto. Tash talks about the work that she does with some of the most vulnerable members of our communities and how she brings her training in mindfulness and meditation into the workplace.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! From Angela Tsounis and the Different From The Other Kids team, we’d like to thank you for listening to Season Two of our weekly podcast. Different from the Other Kids: Natural Alternatives Edition (the eventual name of the season) brought some familiar faces and some new ones to the show. Angela and her guests talked about natural medicines and non-traditional therapies, all in an effort to help strengthen children who need a little extra support (and possibly, their worn out parents or caregivers). For those who might’ve missed an episode, check out http://www.dftok.com/podcast-info/ for all of the interviews from Season Two! Keep an eye out for our next book as well!
And we still aren’t done! Season Three, Different from the Other Kids: Law & Disorder Edition – the weekly podcast will debut in September! This next season focuses how these children can grow up to face difficulties in the judicial or educational system. We talk to educators, lawyers and parents all in an effort to understand the difficulties that can arise when trying to find a place within the system. Mark your calendars & check out our other seasons! http://www.dftok.com/podcast-info/ – thanks for all your support!
