Speaker: Anna Harris, MS, LCMHC

For the past fifteen months we have lived under ominous threats and fears brought on by the pandemic. Daily routines had to shift abruptly, social isolation became the norm for some while others who were essential workers faced daily exposure to a virus that was invisible yet always present. Social upheaval and increased awareness of injustice added to the feeling for many that the world was out of control. Now, as we are beginning to emerge from the pandemic, we may find ourselves somewhat unmoored again, with conflicting feelings of relief and anxiety, joy and hesitancy, celebrating a return to “normal” but clinging to the less frantic lifestyle we discovered during the past year.

Anna Harris will help guide us in some reflections on this time of “emerging” and offer insights and strategies that will help us move forward.
