Leading During COVID: Supporting each other when we all feel the strain

 The COVID-19 pandemic experience has a curious quality of reaching that level of crisis where you cannot ignore it but you must get on with life in an altered way.  Some of us have suffered significant losses of people or employment.  At the same time, all of us are facing a barrage of new small choices and altered ways of acting, many of which do not even enter our consciousness.  And it continues… and continues…  People are resilient, however, and we manage.  While constantly getting the message “Isolate!”, we are not alone in this struggle.  This interactive workshop focuses on increasing awareness of the types of stresses we live in during this pandemic, how our brains respond to that stress, and how we can take a leadership role to leverage our relationships and interactions to identify and respond to stress while tending our own mental health.
