Webinar: Defining Coping Skills for a New Normal
May 24, 2022
In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, The World Health Organization (WHO) released a scientific brief reporting a global increase in anxiety and depression by 25 percent. While the adjustment to a new normal has unfortunately resulted in many feeling emotionally displaced, it also effectively paved the way for behavioral health to surface as a popular topic in the national conversation, bringing to light powerful strategies and resources to cope with common mental health challenges.
Mount Sinai psychologist, Anna Hickner, Psy.D., discusses redefining ‘normal’ and shares coping strategies to create a sense of emotional and psychological safety.
