As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Americans are reporting high levels of emotional distress, with a growing negative impact on mental health and wellness. To support people who are struggling with isolation and loneliness during this difficult time, Advocates for Human Potential adapted their evidence-based Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) to produce a special publication that addresses these concerns. The Wellness Guide to Overcoming Isolation During COVID-19 provides practical guidance for overcoming feelings of isolation and loneliness by building connections with oneself and others. It is designed for self-exploration about being connected, staying connected, getting reconnected, and choosing connection even during difficult times.
Presented By: Matt Federici, Executive Director of the Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery

The onset of the coronavirus has swept the world, leading many people toward feelings of isolation and fear. In this period of insecurity, it is important to remember there are things within our control, despite the overall feelings of uncertainty.  Shared Decision Making is a method of working together to ensure individuals have control over their Recovery journey.  Advanced Directives and Wellness Recovery Action Plans (WRAP) are two additional ways we can assist individuals to regain control of their lives and plan accordingly for the future. Join us for a discussion on ways to take action amongst the backdrop of pandemic and come out even stronger.
Presented By: NYAPRS' Larry Hochwald, CPRP; Robert Statham, BA, CESP; Michael Ballester, MA and Ruth Colón-Wagner, LMSW
