We are in times of great change, rapid pace, complex challenges, rapidly shifting current events and realities, direct threats to our health and well-being from the current pandemic, and in addition, Black, Brown, Indigenous, and all People of Color are disproportionately effected and have the added threat from the violence and harm of systemic racism. It is normal to feel high levels of stress, overwhelm, anger, grief, and more. In this session, we’ll profile stress and overwhelm, our normal responses to them, and we’ll outline things we can do to be with and in these times and foster well-being where possible.
