Coping With COVID webinars available on demand

Getting on one Zoom call and then jumping to the next. Staying connected to your colleagues, family, and friends. Answering one email after another. Helping your children navigate their new virtual school environment. It's understandable that you may have missed some webinars you really wanted to participate in but just did not have the time.

As we continue to adapt to the changing demands brought on by COVID-19, Johns Hopkins' mySupport, Family Support, and Wellness Support programs continue to partner to bring you the Coping With COVID webinar series. These webinars have been presented in a live format, and now a number of them are available on demand for viewing at your convenience.
