Coping During COVID - Session 7

Through a partnership with the Village of Northbrook, Family Service Center (a local mental health agency) is offering the "Coping During COVID" program. This weekly video series is designed for individuals who may have limited time designated for self-care.
Session 7, with Robin Lake, LCSW, focuses on the Stress Response System and “Flipping your Lid.” Our stress response system was designed to be activated during times of acute danger and is the key to survival in life-threatening circumstances. Unfortunately, during periods of prolonged stress and threat, like many of us have experienced this year, our stress response system is on overdrive and may be misfiring often. Learn more about the stress response system and strategies to calm it.
