April 6th

Reflect, Recharge and Reclaim: From collective trauma to
post-traumatic growth 

Susan Wehry, MD, Chief of Geriatrics at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine and the Director of AgingME, Maine's Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP).

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everyone but perhaps none more than those living or working in senior living and long-term care settings. For more than two years we’ve experienced unprecedented levels of challenge and stress... Is it any wonder we’re tired? In this presentation, we'll look at the nature of collective trauma, the brain's negativity bias and how to overcome it, and ways to grow individually and collectively to build momentum for the future.
