In our third episode we take a close look and understanding of how two years after the COVID-19 pandemic, we are improvising, adapting, and overcoming our new normal in the community. Much has changed during the pandemic. We will learn of tips and self-care strategies that help to cope with the anxiety and depression from our altered daily routines.   Through this conversation, we connect with Emergence Health Network Licensed Professional Counselor Maricela Giner-Nevarez. She will explain how people are adapting to the new normal and resources necessary to function at school, work, as a person, and in our relationships with others. She shares strategies on how to live, or re-live, with friends, family, and co-workers and still follow the Covid-19 guidelines. Our intermission segment “Where were you on August 3rd?” features Middle School Counselor Luz Gomez from MacArthur Elementary-Intermediate School. Mrs. Gomez shares her personal story when the school was the designated reunification site.
