Are we any better prepared to cope with natural disasters than we were just a few years ago? Absolutely, say trauma specialists from the American Red Cross. Meet Katrina evacuees, Linda Trueblood and her family, who persevere with incredible hope and strength. In a one-on-one conversation with Dr. Lisa, childhood psychiatrist Dr. Judith Cohen teaches us that children are resilient, and most do recover from trauma and conflict. In the science of happiness, we learn from Christopher Peterson, author of "Character Strengths and Virtues," that there are simple things we can do to achieve happiness. Leeza Gibbons and Dr. Jamie Huysman share the beautiful story of a mother and daughter who-- in the natural evolution of life-- exchange caretaking roles. ChefMD™ prepares a delightful balsamic-glazed strawberry dish that's good for joint pain! Todd Whitthorne reminds us that balance is the key to reducing stress, and yoga is a perfect choice. Florida Perry Smith tells how beautiful legs can be easily achieved with strength training and cardiovascular exercise. Plus, Jill Repp on what to tell kids about disasters and creating a family disaster plan. And Dr. Lisa explains why sleep is so important for good health.
