The Impact of Covid on Mental Health

Certificate of Completion. This session does not offer BACB continuing education (CE) credit.

COVID completely reshaped the world and brought with it changes and unintended consequences that profoundly changed the lives of almost every single person in the world. For individuals with autism and other special needs, and those responsible for providing care, education, and services to support their growth and development, those changes were even more pronounced.

While many in the education and healthcare field have adopted and adapted to methods of delivering services remotely in some form or another, very little attention has been paid to the impact of COVID on mental health-related issues. In our Impact of Covid on Mental Health webinar, you will learn from Dr. Debbie Coehlo, Ph.D., C-PNP, CMHS, CFLE on how to identify the impact of COVID on Mental Health and as she addresses it with simple (yet effective) strategies to mitigate the symptoms in home, school, and clinic-based settings.
