A comprehensive list of free webinars audio exercises worksheets and concise blog posts on a range of topics for coping through
these times including strategies for working from home managing anxiety and supporting loved ones
While holding space to acknowledge all the different ways in which we are experiencing these circumstances here are a couple of articles that
discuss the importance and benefits of cultivating empathy in our communication with each other
4 Ways to Practice Trauma-Informed Healing
Suggestions on how to support mutual healing in our communication that include shifting judgement to curiosity taking time to
reflect and breathe before responding creating a safe enough space and seeking out connection
Cultivating Empathy During the COVID-19 Pandemic
A discussion of the ways in which we can cultivate empathy for others and compassion for the self with the understanding that we
are each working with different internal and external resources
You can visit the Respect-Works website anytime for additional resources reflections and tools Please donrsquot hesitate to email me for
information referrals or regarding concerns for which I can be of assistance I primarily respond to emails during the week and am available
to schedule verbal consultations around when would best suit our respective availabilities in these circumstances
