These are crazy times for all of us. Who would have thought that memes and bad hair would become the focus of our lives? Worries over health or finances, and feelings of frustration, loss, or anxiety, are becoming common.  Fortunately, our species, Homo Sapiens, is incredibly adaptable. Throughout history, whatever the circumstances – pandemics, ice ages, you name it – we have found new ways to cope. No doubt you are also adjusting to your own changing circumstances, with better days and worse days, small pleasures and frustrations. One thing is certain: these times are different, and adjusting, no matter how well it is going, can have its stresses, too. 

In this webinar, Dr. David Bernstein of Maastricht University offers perspectives and tips for how to stay in emotional balance, strengthen connections with other people, and find meaning and purpose, in these challenging times. He will use insights from Schema Therapy and Positive Psychology to show how you can make the best of a difficult situation.

The webinar is intended for UM staff and students. Pre-registration is required and can only be done with a UM e-mail address.
