The executive director and co-founder of the Family Dinner Project provides some tips for having a peaceful and civil Thanksgiving dinner.

Thanksgiving is around the corner.  We get to be with family, with friends, and, if we’re lucky, to take a bit of a break.  However, every four years Thanksgiving falls on the heels of an election.  For many, the last few months have been tough.

In this interview, Anne Fishel, PhD, a clinical psychologist and Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Family Dinner Project, shares her words of wisdom for having a peaceful Thanksgiving holiday.
