The COVID-19 pandemic, and resulting economic downturn, have negatively affected many people’s mental health. We, as a community, have to act now to address the mental health challenges happening during the pandemic to avoid long term consequences in the future.

JFS is bringing this issue to light by offering a four-part series of free online talks with mental health professionals and guest speakers called The COPE Series [Challenges and Opportunities in a Pandemic Era].

September 15 – Children’s Mental Health in a Pandemic

January 14 – Self-Care in the New Year

March 11 – Stigma: Changing the Image of Mental Health Needs

May 13 – Impact of Social Media on Mental Health
