About this event
Our country is continuing to see an increase in COVID-19 cases and many of us are wondering how the aftermath of this collective experience will manifest in ourselves and in our communities. Dr. Bruce Perry will discuss how patterns of stress can determine risk or resilience and the implications of this dynamic for the current COVID-19 epidemic. He will highlight the importance of structure, predictability, and moderation of daily stress in building resilience as children and families navigate the challenges of school and manage ongoing pandemic issues.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the ways in which long-term stress can affect physical and mental health risks and the ways in which the current pandemic is contributing to this dynamic play between stress and risk.
2. List three ways individuals/families can protect themselves by building resilience during times of collective stress.
