Description
This webinar will present a social history of COVID-19 that started as a project to examine how individuals were faring in different parts of the world. There was an overwhelming response to our call, allowing for six continents to be represented in our webinar. We would like to share these global stories with you. Our presentation serves as an introduction to a larger project in Psychological Trauma that will be released this summer. We hope that this webinar will serve as a platform for research and practice in the near future.
