Recorded June 19, 2020 - The COVID 19 pandemic has many people experiencing a level of uncertainty. Many people may be struggling with mental health challenges that they haven't previously, such as feelings of a lack of control, anxiety, trauma, powerlessness and grief. This webinar discusses how people with lived experience of mental illness, already learning to cope with a certain amount of uncertainty and fear, may be able to guide other individuals unaccustomed to these feelings. The webinar also discusses how this pandemic may also assist to break down the stigma associated with mental illness as more people learn to cope with mental health uncertainty due to COVID 19.  Presenters: Dr. Rachel Herron, Candice Waddell, Richard Whitfield
