Emanu-El Cares: How Do We Cope with Losses in this COVID-19 Season?

Join Kailey Roberts, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Yeshiva University

Come learn some basic strategies as we grapple with the many uncertainties and challenges of this pandemic. Some have lost their jobs and a sense of financial security, many have become disconnected from their social network and communities due to physical distancing measures, and some have lost loved ones.

Dr. Roberts will address some ways to maintain a sense of meaning in life, skills for reducing anxiety, and cultivating self-compassion.

Please note that registered participants may add their questions and comments by using the chat feature but they will not be visible and participant microphones will be muted.

Even though there are ways we can help ourselves during difficult times, sometimes it can be useful to seek outside support from family, friends, and professionals. Signs that it may be helpful to seek counseling will also be discussed.

Please email Johnny Maldonado to register. Registered participants will receive the Zoom link to join us via email.
