Community Conversations: Managing Uncertainty and Anxiety in a Post-COVID World

Presented by Sheppard Pratt

During a Q&A, Sheppard Pratt experts Jon Hershfield, MFT, Michael Young, MD, and Denise Connelly, LCSW-C shared how to manage uncertainty when facing a “new normal” and presented tools for approaching a post-COVID world with confidence. The pandemic has heightened uncertainty and anxiety around jobs, relationships, finances, and most certainly mental health. With the distribution of COVID vaccinations comes the reality of a post-COVID world, and with it, many new, stressful, and uncertain situations. The experts shared how to navigate such situations and the considerations that must be taken for those who have been depressed, anxious, or overusing substances.
