Coping with COVID Part 1: Understanding stress, trauma, and grief 

This first part of our two-part series will focus on better understanding the complex reactions all of us are experiencing in these trying and uncertain times. We will explore individual reactions of stress, grief, and trauma during the pandemic, and how to better make sense of these interactions on our brain, body, and relationships. The presentation will cover how these interactions affect us from a neurobiological and physiological perspective, in addition to the psychological, emotional, and social impacts. We will discuss the many new barriers to adjusting to a new reality while remaining connected, productive, and healthy. We will also outline specific techniques that can be used to ground ourselves and regain control over our body’s normal reactions to these increasingly difficult times. This training is appropriate for all levels. This is a two-part series but participants are welcome to attend only one of the trainings if they choose.
