Often discussed and infrequently practiced, self-care is critically important during the profound and protracted COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the understandable and normal waves of anxiety, depression, and stress that many feel during this uncertain time, the COVID-19 pandemic renders us more vulnerable to burnout, compassion fatigue, or vicarious trauma.

Register now and listen as Carolyn Allard, PhD (Professor and Program Director of the Clinical Psychology PhD Program at the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) at Alliant International University and research psychologist at VA San Diego Healthcare System), and Diana M. Concannon, PsyD (Dean of the California School of Forensic Studies at Alliant International University) discuss the particular reasons why COVID-19 both challenges our resilience and offers an unprecedented opportunity to incorporate self-care into our lives.

The COVID-19 pandemic is incomprehensible for even the most informed adults. For children, many of whom had their daily routines abruptly interrupted and replaced by confusing new restrictions on their ability to study, play with friends, and even celebrate birthdays, this can be a particularly confusing and stressful time.

How do we speak to our children about COVID-19, especially as we navigate our own health and financial anxieties, and strive to balance work, home life, and supporting their educational needs?

Join Dr. Erin O’Callaghan (Program Director for the California School of Professional Psychology in the Los Angeles PsyD program at Alliant International University) and Dr. Ronald Stolberg (Professor in the California School of Professional Psychology in the San Diego PsyD program at Alliant International University) as they provide guidance on the developmentally-appropriate options for speaking to children in ways that support their health and the well-being of the entire family.
