Topic: "After COVID-19: The New Self-Care Paradigm Supporting Providers, Staff, Clients, and the Community in the “New Normal" Even though we have navigated many struggles around COVID, cases continue and the effect of long-term COVID continues to create challenges for workers, care providers, seniors, and other individuals. In this overview of a longer training that I’m offering about “COVID, Stress, & the New Normal,” you will identify and learn to work with three common complaints that have compromised people’s well-being in the last several years. The skills you will learn will empower you to support your personal well-being at work and in daily life.


This presentation can also support in addressing specific issues about the care facilities you may work with and how to effectively connect with seniors around whole body wellness issues related to health problems created by issues related to COVID.
