PVN partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Association, BC Division (CMHA) to provide a virtual learning session that gave patient partners some tools and tips on how to stay well during uncertain times. This session was well attended and has provided a glimpse into how future virtual sessions can be done to keep us connected and learning from each other. Read on for a recap of the webinar!
Feeling stressed, anxious or depressed? All the information about COVID-19 is a lot to take in, but we’re all in this together and here to support each other.
On April 30, we partnered with CMHA’s CEO Jonny Morris, as he hosted a virtual talk about support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jonny shared resources and answered questions as participants were introduced to innovative tools and tips specially developed to help both, the public and care workers during this unprecedented time.
Another great part of the discussion was around the Bounce Back program, designed to give people access to materials and resources that can be customized to fit everyone’s needs: workbooks, activities, videos, or a trained coach who can provide up to six phone sessions. The program features three delivery methods: coaching, online and Today Video.
Equally important was to find out about “Care for Caregivers,”, the resource that provides mental health support for health care providers and provides tips on how to support the mental health of employees.
CMHA remains a great partner in our efforts to help our patient partners stay healthy and safe! Watch the webinar here: /resources/staying-well-in-uncertain-times-may-4-2020-webinar/
