Covid Support.Healthcare Wkrs. Students. Community
COVID has affected us all in different ways. It has been difficult for many of us to adjust to this "new normal" which continues to change. These support groups are all conducted via Telehealth. It is not to support conspiracy theorist, political or religious views, but intended to be a safe environment to learn positive coping techniques to "grow" through this change. Symptoms: Compassion Fatigue. Feelings of fear, anger, sadness, worry, numbness, or frustration. Changes in appetite. Increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. Difficulty sleeping or nightmares. Difficulty concentrating and making decisions.
