The Importance of Empathy (video)

There is so much useful information packed into this 3 1/2 minute video — and it’s never more relevant than right now, during this highly-charged, double-pandemic moment in time.
We all manage stress and anxiety in our own way based on our own experiences. Without knowing it, we create expectations of how others should behave and react. Given the events of the last few months, KPSC’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is seeing an increase in burn-out and stress anxiety. They have shared this video to emphasize the importance of effective communication and empathy during these times. Even if we have differing opinions, empathy helps us understand others and perhaps even lend support. Watch it here.
