COVID-19 is on many of our minds. With there being so much talk about the current events, for some of us, it has understandably increased our anxiety and stress. Coping with Current Events brings together the community during a time of unknown, to learn and support ourselves and others.
The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) online Coping with Current Events: Managing Anxiety and Stress will discuss the impact of the current events on our well-being, what we can do to feel a little more in control, and some options to help manage our feelings of anxiety and stress. Managing your stress and well-being during this time is as important as managing your physical health.
The goal of CMHA is for you to leave this online session with at least one tool or piece of knowledge that you can implement right now to “reduce that squeeze” we all feel.
There are multiple dates for this session which will be hosted online. In order to join one access to the internet or phone is needed. Instructions on how you can join will be sent once registration is completed.
What to expect:
- Online community session

Learning Opportunities:
