Mobile Mindfulness: The Future of Mental Health
By Shawna Ryan
Summary
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we continue to investigate how our relationship with our devices has changed since the start of the COVID‑19 pandemic, from setting boundaries in a mobile‑first world to breaking down barriers to mental health access. Through discussions with health experts and a T‑Mobile employee using the company’s digital well‑being benefits, we take a closer look at how the evolution of mental health tools are providing more viable options for so many people in need.
Violence in Boston says independent autopsy results will be released
Strothers could not be reached for comment on Tuesday. Monica Cannon-Grant, of Violence in Boston, also could not be immediately reached.
However, on Tuesday, in an online talk show called “Java With Jimmy,” Cannon-Grant said an independent autopsy has been completed and she plans to release its results on Thursday.
Cannon-Grant also claimed Ryan’s office leaked information to a news source about criminal charges filed last year against Strothers for allegedly striking Miller. Cannon-Grant said the charges are expected to be dropped in July.
Ryan, in a statement on Tuesday, said her office has spoken to the attorney of Miller’s family about the ruling, but did not say what that conversation entailed.

SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio â Itâs no secret that post-COVID-19 life has taken a toll on all of us.
âA lot more aggression and violence, protests, destruction, differences of opinion, and then you got to also add into that mix COVID, which contained people, restricted them,â said Tim Dimoff, a national security expert and business consultant based in Summit County.
But now as we emerge from our homes and, for many, back into our workplaces, employers are dealing with an alarming trend.
Vermont unemployment rate falls to 2.9 percent
The Vermont seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate fell again and at 2.9 percent in March is back under 3 percent for the first time since just before the pandemic hit in early 2020. The rate reflects a decrease of one-tenth of one percentage point from the prior month’s revised estimate of 3.0 percent. Vermont now is tied for the lowest rate in the nation with three Western states. There are still over 28,000 filing unemployment claims in Vermont. While this about a third the number of filers from the peak of the pandemic, it is still historically high. Ongoing claims typically would be under 6,000. The pandemic numbers also include new programs like the PUA, which in recent weeks has accounted for almost 9,000 claims.
