NYAPRS Note: The following comes from the NYS Office of Mental Health.
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Center for Practice Innovations has developed six new Wellness Self-Management (WSM) lessons, which can be used remotely (or face-to-face) in individual and group meetings.
Many practitioners and recipients are familiar with WSM, a curriculum-based clinical practice designed to assist adults to effectively manage serious mental health problems. WSM lessons focus on recovery, mental health wellness, relapse prevention and more.
The topics are covered in the new :
· Understanding the Coronavirus and COVID-19
· Why Is It Important to Understand Our Stress During the COVID-19 Crisis?
· Identifying Your Personal Signs of Stress During the COVID-19 Crisis
· Coping with COVID-19: What works? What doesn’t?
· Being Connected with Other People is More Important Now than Ever
· Staying Physically Healthy During the COVID-19 Crisis
ð You can access the WSM-COVID lessons here. ï
OMH is sharing these new WSM-COVID lessons as a valuable tool to support essential services delivery through the disaster emergency.
