Holiday Coping Strategies Virtual Discussion

December 4th at 11am

2020 has been a challenging year in so many ways, and it isn’t over yet. In this session, we will discuss the sense of loss that is facing many of us during this holiday season. The loss can be the result of death, physical distance or social distance; the pandemic adds a layer of complication to an already complicated time of year. We miss people. We miss our rituals. We miss our life-before-COVID-19.

Mercedes Bern-Klug will facilitate a discussion about how to recognize the sense of loss in ourselves and in others, and consider ways to respond to the loss during the holiday season. Please join us on December 4th at 11am.

This virtual event is free to attend. You must register in advance at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_40oHJYVWTJ2nxjm-XaruTA
