COVID-19 Self-Care Training Series

In response to COVID-19, SAMHSA provided Coordinated Behavioral Care with a $2M grant to help address the immense unmet mental health needs in NYS. SAMHSA recognized that front line staff, especially those providing behavioral health services, also need support to address their personal and professional experiences with COVID-19. CBC has developed the COVID Self-Care Training Series in response to that gap and as a support for frontline staff, in collaboration with The Bridge, Center for Urban Community Services, WellLife Network, OHEL and the Kripalu Center. The overall theme of the trainings is professional self-care. Through these trainings, agency staff will have the opportunity to master self-care skills, share experiences and process their fears, concerns and anxieties as they provide care during a pandemic.
