Behavioral Health providers have had their work lives, as well as their personal lives, disrupted by COVID-19. The people we serve are even more disrupted and will have more need of our services now and for the foreseeable future. Continuing to function well professionally and personally in this uncertain environment may require engaging tools and techniques that maybe we didn’t need before. We will discuss the use of some of these skills, and there will also be time for attendees to share their own discoveries and responses to the pandemic with one another.
