2021 Wellbeing Series | Understanding and Managing Stress in the Age of COVID
Tuesday, September 14 at 2 pm ET.
This presentation will review the psychological challenges and stresses evoked by the COVID pandemic. We will examine the relationship between emotional stress and psychopathology-not all distress is mental illness. We will discuss when professional support might be appropriate or necessary. We will consider what people might do to cope with and manage these stresses. There will be time for Q and A.
