Resources for Grounding in a Crisis @ 12 PM. I'm so excited that my friend Teresa Mateus will be joining the Way for a lunch break conversation about the shifts she is seeing in this time of crisis for many. You won't want to miss this conversation as she leads us through the following topics:

• Overall elements of sustained and collective crisis

• Issues of disparity in race/ethnicity in the experience of the moment and lineages of trauma and inequity

• Issues of primary and secondary grief - and how grief is stunted in crisis and trauma and specifically this crisis with medical factors that stunt pre-emptive grief and general grief

• The impact on frontline workers and the specific ways in which this is overwhelming for folks who are in closest proximity to danger, trauma, sadness, etc

• The post-pandemic or post-peak issues we have to be careful of - the emotional toll of sustained crisis over time (things we can learn from war and social movements)

• Practical ways to ground in the moment and manage what we can, also let go for now of what we can't
