Description:
Calamities, catastrophes, and conflicts can happen to us at any time and are typically out of our control. What we can control, however, is how we respond to them. The COVID-19 pandemic hit the world like a ton of bricks. Dental professionals are facing new challenges as we try to adapt to the reality that pandemics and conflicts will change the way we practice and interact. Change is always difficult and this particular change involves a significant amount of fear about the health and safety of our patients, our team, our families, and ourselves. We also worry about the financial repercussions.
Failure to address emotional turmoil is a dangerous business and can lead to burnout, depression, cardiovascular disease, and many other physical ailments. This is new territory for us but there is much to learn from those who have struggled in the past. This CE course focuses on proven methods to overcome the anxiety and grief associated with the trauma caused by the current pandemic, tragedies in our life, depression, and social conflict.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
• Recognize the physical effects of emotional turmoil and the neuroscience behind it.
