What is this 'Microlearning Course' about?
This customized, self-paced course will help learners understand and manage the unique emotional challenges presented by the global Covid-19 pandemic as we slowly reopen. At its peak, some 2.6 billion people around the world were in some kind of lockdown, we are in the midst of the largest psychological experiment in history. Forced to create the best practices toolkit for emotional recovery from the pandemic, we are inventing this wheel. Some of us will experience existential crises that will lead us to question the meaning of our lives. No longer sure about our core beliefs, our occupations, our relationships, or the places where we choose to live, some of us will move, end relationships, start new ones, change jobs, or redefine our concept of self and life. Still others will explore religious/spiritual beliefs or lose their faith. This course helps learners identify a path to emotional recovery.
