Rapid heartbeat or heart palpitations
Sweating

"Nonviolent communication" is a big fancy term for a simple method for clear, empathic communication. The idea is to state observations, then feelings, then needs, then requests. This approach aims to find a way for all present to get what really matters to them without the use of guilt, humiliation, or shame.

Hosted by Stockton University, the campus center came alive with 175 guests representing 46 municipalities, schools, churches, and mental health and substance use organizations.
