Post-Covid Mental Health

Sharifa Batts, Program Vice President

Are we really still talking about the COVID pandemic? It is hard to imagine that it has been over 3 years since the worldwide COVID pandemic started in 2020. A new normalcy started and most of us have resumed our lives in one way or another. We have lost loved ones and more during this journey. Approximately two-thirds of women stated that their stress and/or anxiety increased during the pandemic according to the U.S. News & World Report (April 2022). Thinking about how you and yours got through the pandemic, let us come together and share coping strategies to maintain or improve your well-being. One thing we learned is how resilient we can be, as a community, particularly the wonderful women that make up this organization. See you at the November meeting!
