Just as the world was preparing for a roaring 2020, COVID-19 entered our lives. When March rolled around, the nationwide shut-down turned our world upside-down. When May came, the murder of George Floyd further uncovered the depths of systemic racism. We went from overactive but routine daily lives to a standstill, being quarantined, and witnessing a reckoning of generations of systemic racism. Work continued from home for some of us. Essential workers became even busier. Education continued from home. Family members became strangers. Protests dominated the news. And businesses suddenly had little or no revenue.
From October – March, the Scattergood Foundation has partnered with PIDC and Spectrum Health Services to host “Is It Just Me?” Paying Attention to Your Mental Health During the Time of COVID-19 and Civil Unrest, a series of monthly webinars that address specific wellness issues with a discussion led by healthcare professionals.
