As our communities face the growing impacts of COVID-19, it’s natural for many people to become trapped in thought patterns of fear and helplessness. It’s especially difficult when we can’t spend time with our support system or use our typical coping strategies. In times like this, we rely on our resiliency skills to adapt the best we can.
This webinar will discuss the crisis we face physically, cognitively, and emotionally in the time of COVID-19. Participants will:
- Learn how crisis situations, loneliness, and isolation impact us as individuals
- Explore where resiliency comes from
- Learn practical and achievable ways to increase your resiliency
