The required individual and communal responses to the dangers of COVID-19 have disrupted the patterns and stability of our lives in ways that most people have not experienced before. We all have faced significant challenges and stresses in responding dutifully and faithfully to the needs of our families, communities, and employers, as well as to our own needs. In this session, we will discuss these events in a frame of emotional and spiritual wellbeing and development.
