Mom's Anxiety
Struggling with a high functioning anxiety disorder causes individuals to change their routines, how they handle social situations, and influences the patterns people make for themselves — Everything from timing when they go to the grocery store to avoid the crowds to what social gatherings to attend. Everyone has their coping strategies, some that work and some that make their anxiety worse. (Great article here about some unusual ways anxiety can affect behavior).

Why Should Employers Encourage Volunteerism from Their Employees?
Supporting the community is great and all, but whats in it for me as a company? What's in it for me as an employer to make time for employees to volunteer during their shifts? We have quotas/metrics/time commitments to meet and customers to support. We come to work and do our job, isn't that enough?
