Coping During Uncertain Times

Wednesday, July 9, 2025 12:00pm to 1:00pm EDT

People have a powerful need to understand and predict their environments in order to feel in control. When we are exposed to potential threats to our well-being, we naturally respond to this uncertainty with anxiety and fear. This training will address ways of effectively coping with uncertainty in today’s media-saturated world. The course will examine how to remain positive and functional despite the risks of living in a changing world.

Included will be practical tips for coping with uncertainty, re-establishing control and how to speak to children about fear.

 

Workshop Objectives
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
• Understand the impacts of certainty on your emotions, perceptions and behaviors
• Recognize ways of discerning actual risks from perceptions
• Identify means of asserting control and letting go of fear
• Learn techniques to minimize your stress and cope with uncertainty
• Identify ways to help children respond to uncertainty
