Expecting the Unexpected: Resilience Coping Strategies for Today’s Unpredictable Environment

RECORDED ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2020

Presented by Dr. Emily Mazzulla, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychology, Marquette University; and Marquette Director of SWIM (Scaling Wellness in Milwaukee) Collaboration and Innovation

Trauma and stress can be very subjective. The same event for two different people, in simplistic terms, can be traumatic and stressful for one and not for the other. A traumatic or stressful event threatens our sense of safety and challenges our ability to cope. The current COVID-19 pandemic can be described as a collective traumatic event. Dr. Emily Mazzulla, clinical professor of psychology in the Klingler College of Arts Sciences and the director of SWIM collaboration and innovation, will share more about resilience coping strategies for predictable and unpredictable times.
