Building Resilience Post-Pandemic

In person talk with Dr Aileen Alegado

2020 was a year that changed the world. Everyone has been impacted in some way by COVID-19 and many of us are still struggling to cope with the ongoing uncertainty and challenges arising from the pandemic. As we return to the “new normal”, it’s vital to recognise the importance of resilience in maintaining our own mental health and to better support our loved ones.

Clinical psychologist Dr Aileen Alegado joins us to speak about the impacts of COVID-19 on mental health and shares positive tools to enable us to be more resilient in moving forward post-pandemic.

Dr Aileen will focus on:

  • Acknowledging how isolation has created struggles, including a rise in mental health issues
  • Normalising the conversation around grief for loss / change and how to cope with this
  • Understanding resilience
  • Positive Psychology – concept and approaches
  • Practical strategies and tools to maintain a healthy mindset and build on your ability to bounce back from adversity
