For many people, the biggest challenge of disruption is the mental strain. People of all ages are at increased risk for symptoms of anxiety and depression – even those who’ve never experienced it before – when their expectations have to change so abruptly. Without the structure and interactions of “regular” life, and with startling new stressors like major financial upheaval and new fears, we need tools and tactics – that people will actually use – in order to overcome. But there is an opportunity here – a total reset gives anyone who takes it the opportunity to decide what they want and set a course to get it. Dr. G can lead individuals to outline their goals, and to develop actionable strategies that build strength and resilience, to get there not in spite of disruption, but because of it.
Social isolation causes discomfort in almost everyone. Discomfort can turn to danger without the tools to stay linked and supported by the parts of our lives that nourish us. Dr. G provides the tactics for building and maintaining bonds from afar. She proves the need for intentional action in relationships, and the skills each of us can develop in ourselves and others to shift from isolation to interconnection.
Children and adults benefit from (flexible) structure. If a daily schedule didn’t help, every kindergarten teacher in the world wouldn’t bother with one, right? But not every adult is a “schedule” kind of person, and most of the best laid plans go out the window when you’re juggling kids, work, pets, and feeding everybody all the time! Dr. G (Deborah Gilboa, MD), Parenting Expert on The TODAY Show, has 5 frameworks that every family can consider and adapt to keep kids feeling safe and keep everyone treating each other well while sheltering in place.
Sex. Drugs. Grief. Alcohol. Divorce. Deployment. Pandemic. No matter what the topic, these hard subjects require effective and repeated conversations between adult and child. Dr. G will take the fear out of addressing these issues with clear steps to having these talks in ways that grown-ups can manage and children can hear. Dr. G helps parents incorporate the values they know their children need along with the facts they can’t do without. Dr. G empowers educators, coaches and youth professionals navigate these difficult talks in a professional and appropriate manner while helping to educate and build resilience in their students and give them somewhere they can turn to when they have difficult questions in the future.
For many people, the biggest challenge of remote work is the mental strain. People of all ages are at increased risk for symptoms of anxiety and depression – even those who’ve never experienced it before – when separated from their supports. Without the structure and interactions of “regular” life, and with startling new stressors, we need tools and tactics – that people will actually use – in order to maintain good mental health. Stress is cumulative, and prevention is far easier than treatment. Dr. G (Deborah Gilboa, MD), family physician and an internationally acclaimed resilience expert, can lead adults working with staff, colleagues and their own family members, to recognize and head off risk, and to develop actionable strategies that build strength and resilience, for this week – and beyond.
