Members of white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups are becoming more aggressive with their public presence here in our part of the country. The Nationalist Social Club, or NSC-131, is just one of those groups based right here in New England. Nichole talks with Robert Trestan, New England Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League, about who these people are, what drives them to join such groups, and what can be done, if anything, to stop it. With pediatric mental health at the forefront, many adults are trying to find ways to help kids connect with their emotions. Medical professionals at two Boston-area hospitals have teamed up with video game designers and players to create "Mightier", a video game that's focused on creating opportunities to teach emotional regulation through play. Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Jason Kahn and Lead Clinical Strategist Emily Stone join Nichole to discuss the research that went into the game and the methods it uses to help kids visualize their feelings in real time.
