Robin Y. Franklin, Alisa Peña DiMora, and Terry Youmans appear on "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Wednesday, January 18th, 2023.

Residents across our region are dealing with difficult subjects: violence in Rochester; mental health challenges; stressors from the pandemic; and more. How should we speak with -- and comfort people -- who are grieving?

We're joined by local chaplains who help us understand how to have caring and supportive conversations, and how to handle grief ourselves. Our guests:

Evan Dawson is the host of "Connections with Evan Dawson." He joined WXXI in January 2014 after working at 13WHAM-TV, where he served as morning news anchor. He was hired as a reporter for 13WHAM-TV in 2003 before being promoted to anchor in 2007.
Megan Mack is the executive producer of "Connections with Evan Dawson" and live/televised engagement programming.
