Coping with Uncertainty

In this presentation, participants will learn coping strategies to reduce stress associated with fear and trauma and to develop resiliency skills for the future. Attention will be given to trauma responses of fear, anger, and grief to help participants identify and understand their emotional and behavioral reactions to recent world events and previous incidents of trauma. While this presentation will primarily focus mostly on adult experiences, there will be an opportunity to discuss how children react to fear and trauma and how caregivers can best assist them. Emphasis will include the uncertainty produced during a pandemic.
