Description
The COVID-19 Pandemic has gone from a headline to something that has had a significant impact on our personal and professional lives. We are bombarded daily by news feeds and social media about this virus, and we face the new reality that is "social distancing."
What does this mean for us as clinicians?
How do we help our clients, many of whom struggle with additional stressors like mental illness, trauma and substance use disorder?
Join us in this recording as we look at these issues from a medical and mental health perspective.
