The Health Professionals and Allied Employees (HPAE) and the AFT have joined forces to provide virtual emotional-support workshops for workers from all industries.
“Too often we focus on the physical ailments associated with COVID-19 and fail to address the emotional and mental strain the virus has had on everyone’s well-being,” said HPAE President Debbie White.
The “Moving Forward. Getting Stronger.” offerings are free to the public and will be conducted by the presentation faculty of the Mental Health Association in New Jersey.
The workshop subjects and dates are as follows:
Mental Health First Aid: April 2, April 19 and May 5
Trauma and Traumatic Stress: March 7, April 4 and April 11 (two sessions each day)
Coping and Resiliency: March 16, March 30, April 18 (two sessions), April 20 (two sessions)
Creating & Providing Peer to Peer Support: Dates to be determined
