LeadingAge Connecticut would like to offer our members and subscribers the opportunity to participate in this LeadingAge Texas webinar series. This eight-part weekly webinar series which will explore topics from behavioral health to documentation to self-care....all through the lens of COVID-19.

With a focus on clinical excellence, the sessions featured in the series will provide actionable strategies that clinical staff, administrators, social workers and the like can implement in their community, in their team and in their own lives as we navigate this global pandemic and discover where the field of aging services is headed.

September 9th - 12:00pm - 1:00pm - Sustaining the Well-Being of Healthcare Workers During Coronavirus
Presented by: Dr. Kathleen Weissberg, MS, OTD, OTR/L, CMDCP, CDP, Education Director, Select Rehabilitation

The purpose of this session is to provide wellness considerations for work settings as we all navigate the uncharted territory and response to novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). In this webinar, the learner will be offered strategies, exercises, activities and considerations for addressing their own health and wellness including stress management, sleep behaviors, and social connectedness. Additionally, symptoms related to trauma are reviewed along with techniques supervisors can utilize for effective, empathic management.

COVID-19 is presenting new and unique challenges. We are navigating uncharted waters with this virus, making it important to find new ways to work and interact while also taking care of our mental health and well-being. Many are teleworking full-time for the first time, isolated from co-workers, friends and family. Others are on the front lines caring for others. No matter what, our daily living routines are disrupted causing added anxiety, stress and strain-physically, mentally, and financially. Now more than ever, we all must take care of our mental health and well-being.
