The Need for Social Connections has never been greater. Providers are experiencing an increase in referrals since March 2020 to present. I believe that many people, particularly first responders, teachers and front line workers will have residual side effects long after resolution of what was considered by some government entities, a public health crisis.
Other issues presenting of late are differences of opinion concerning politics, social justice and beliefs regarding major public institutions and court decisions involving health care & education.
These issues have divided families and friends across the country. Seeking first to understand is a major component of healthy relationships.
There has been a devastating effect on how families are navigating "the middle" and how to explain a changing family dynamic to their children. The grief associated with the loss of long term friendships and important familial roles should be addressed in order to learn to cope with them.
