Last Thursday, NYAPRS presented a webinar entitled “Taking on the Challenge of Working Remotely and in the Community During the Virus Crisis” that included presentations by Kirsten Woodlock on ‘Remote Working: Tips for Staying Effective, Brave, Awkward and Kind’ and on the Strive for Five Challenge advanced by NYAPRS and the Coalition for Behavioral Health to reach out to five people every day for the next 30 days.
It also included a broad based presentation on how primarily NYS recovery and peer support organizations have adapted to serving individual via a variety of remote strategies that included a number of phone, text, online, video, podcast and other resources.
We’d like to thank all of the individuals and organizations who shared information about the extra efforts they are taking to ensure that essential support and connection is offered to individuals, families and staff when they need it most, and whose creativity, dedication and courage can be found throughout this presentation. Many of these approaches will forever change how services are offered in the future, long after the crisis has abated.

Deeply heartfelt wishes from the NYAPRS Board and staff that all of our broader state and national recovery community stay safe and well.
