- Tips for Unemployed/Underemployed, Students&TeachersPre-Recorded: Tips for Unemployed/Underemployed, Students&Teachers Part 1 of 2The problem of unemployment and underemployment is facing Americans and citizens of other countries. The media reports a global recession that is not painting a promising future. Hopelessness is being experienced by many with college degrees, as well as those with no high school diploma or GED. The closing of schools, college programs, and work training programs would lead us to believe that teachers are being laid-off but contrary to this belief teachers are not experiencing the unemployment blues as much as adult students. A major research study from the U.S. Department of Labor reveals that teachers under public school systems are not facing severe unemployment rates as many had thought. Therefore, we ask teachers, especially college faculty, to use their wisdom and show empathy and compassion for students and parents who may be dealing with finding jobs, trying to make schedules fit and pay for tuition and books in this economy.

About Ask Dr. Applewhite
From the publisher's feed
The ASK DR. APPLEwhite Program is hosted by Danita Applewhite PhD CRC (Ret.), a U S Army Veteran, founder/director of White Apple Institute, retired professor of psychology, and certified counselor…
in the fields of vocational rehabilitation and independent living for over 40 years. Dr. Applewhite experiences disability from both sides of the desk as a professional and as a person with multiple disabilities. The program has been on Blog Talk Radio since 2009 and YouTube since 2018 and is dedicated to exploring the core principles of the disability rights movement. The program was started to address disability discrimination issues faced by adult students, inclusive of military veterans and has evolved to express the needs and challenges of all adults with visible and non-visible disabilities. Encouraged by the feedback of listeners, The Ask DR. APPLEWHITE Program is moving beyond the framework of disability rights and recognizing the need to expand and promote the disability justice movement. The program will delve deeply into the intersectional nature of disability, examining how ableism is intertwined with racism, sexism, politics, law, classism, social economics and other systems of oppression.
In collaboration with for-profit and nonprofit organizations, The ASK DR. APPLEWHITE Program has helped thousands "accept the challenge to change the perception of 'dis-abled' to 'differently-abled". The program focuses on a variety of topics that help listeners effectively manage living with disability, including chronic pain, emotional stress, learning and motivation issues, sexuality, and more. HEAR "down to earth”, controversial discussions, and success stories with guests, including professionals in education, counseling, social work, health care (mental and physical), and employment (Human Resources), that will improve performance and success in the workplace and classroom while managing life as a differently-abled person!

Ninety percent of net proceeds from sponsorships and membership fees are provided to the DAN.
