About This Course

The goal of this presentation is to provide a look at the impact of major disasters with long sequalae from an individual and collective behavioral health lens, and discuss the lingering effects of isolation, anxiety, and stress/fatigue as people navigate in a post-disaster environment, and the potential impact on physical and mental wellness.  This course will also introduce and explore self-care coping skills through interactive discussion and activities.

The lingering effects of post-disaster isolation, health anxieties and stress/fatigue due to a disaster’s long term impact can affect our physical and mental wellness, and well as put a strain on behavioral health services, and providers of service, for years. We will discuss the ongoing uncertainties that result from major disasters, the need for advance planning and preparedness, and we will discuss self-care in the anticipation of greater behavioral health service needs.
