During this pandemic we are all going to know people who are in serious trouble and need help. Many people won’t recognize that they need help or will be too ashamed to ask for help.

This webinar will address how to be helpful – attuned, thoughtful, supportive – without becoming overburdened. We will learn how to avoid empathic pitfalls while offering support. We will describe how to think about resilience as a zone and how to create a resource list that fits each person’s resilience profile. Finally, we will consider how to mobilize reasonable hope and benefit from vicarious hope.
Speaker
