As you continue to cope and adjust during this pandemic, you may experience a range of emotions as you find ways to adapt and search for the new normal. The unknown causes each of us to reflect on feelings and thoughts that we may have never experienced prior to COVID-19, and we may be unsure what to do with them.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. MySupport is partnering with Johns Hopkins' Family Support and Wellness Support programs to provide webinars that will help employees become more aware of mental health issues, knock down myths, expand understanding, increase empathy toward those who suffer with mental health problems, and ensure that those with mental health problems know they are not alone. This month's Coping With COVID webinar series has a focus on mental health and will provide tips, tricks, and techniques to help you cope better.

Whether you are new to journaling or it's a tool you forgot about, this one-hour meeting can provide you with tips for using the practice as part of your regular routine. The Zoom meeting will take place from 10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 20. Join the session here.
