How to Build and Maintain Strong Relationships During a Time of Crisis (Purpose Prep)
This is a difficult time for relationships. People that are self-isolating are alone, worried, and depressed. Those that are together find that that constantly being around the same people can strain their relationships. The Washington Post recently warned of a “divorce tsunami.” Cook Children’s Medical Center in Texas says it has treated seven cases of severe child abuse in the last week – the average is six per year. The strain that the COVID19 epidemic is putting on our relationships with others is unprecedented. This 30-minute webinar ends with an open 30-minute Q&A session.

Telehealth Basics
Many mental health providers across the country are taking their services online as COVID-19 forces the closure of clinics, schools and workplaces to visitors.
For many providers, the transition is daunting. To address this need, the Mid-America MHTTC joined forces with the Mountain Plains MHTTC and Mid-America ATTC to establish Telehealth Learning and Consultation (TLC) Tuesdays.
Each week, our Technology Transfer Center (TTC) Network specialists briefly discuss a specific topic, then answer questions from attendees submitted during registration. The first webinar, on telehealth basics, drew 1,116 unique viewers from across the country. The webinar recording and slides are available on the website and embedded below.

Mental Health in a Time of Crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic, like other traumatic events, can have a substantial impact on the mental health of populations. This mental health response is shaped both by the disease itself and by its economic and social consequences. It can shape mental health for months and years to come, long after the pandemic has passed. This seminar will discuss the state-of-the-science about mental health after large scale events and potential approaches to mitigate adverse mental health consequences. Watch the webinar here!
