Monday Morning Speaker: Hilaire R. Henthorne, M. Div., J.D., Esq.
Long-term unemployment is scary, demoralizing and isolating. No one can really understand what it’s like unless he/she has experienced it personally. I have been laid off with no notice while working in the corporate sector, I have been employed at a government agency during a reduction in force, and I endured a year of long-term unemployment after graduating from seminary as a second-career adult.
My talk will look at the impact of unemployment from a psychological, emotional, spiritual and physical perspective, as I experienced it. I will not offer any quick fixes or pretend to have “the answers” as to how one copes with long-term unemployment. There is no “one size fits all” prescription for getting through something as difficult as this. I will, however, share my story and talk about what helped me get through my own particularly difficult year: my volunteer work and my faith. My talk will emphasize the benefits of finding ways to keep perspective, reclaim your sense of purpose and self-worth, and to feel less alone in your struggles and challenges.
