Flattening the Second Curve of COVID-19: Mental Health
Overview
Given all that your community is facing in the days ahead, in this 60-minute webinar we’ll be discussing how to flatten what’s being called “the second curve” of the COVID-19 pandemic: the mental health impact. Experience tells us that similar to 9/11 and other traumatic events, the psychological effects linger long after the dust settles in a major crisis.
As we’ve seen in flattening the first curve of the pandemic, we know the key is to move early. During the webinar we share:
- How you can immediately offer a wide range of resources and tools for your community to support the ripple effects on mental health and emotional wellbeing.
- A broader approach that includes more expansive content, capabilities, analytics, and interactive feedback loops.
- Specific strategies for engagement and adherence to create a culture of mental health and reduce the associated stigma from a population-based approach.
