The Hobart Rotary Club, in collaboration with Delaware Opportunities and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council (ADAC) of Delaware County, will sponsor an essential community conversation on "Your Mental Health and the Covid Pandemic" on Wednesday, February 17 at 6pm. This webinar is free and open to the public via Zoom. Details on how to participate are outlined below.

The conversation will focus on the physical and mental impacts of living in these uncertain times and how we can best care for ourselves, our loved ones, and our community with simple strategies that help us build our resilience and connect to our community supports. This presentation is for any parent, teacher, health professional, and community member who is looking for strategies to deal with feelings of overwhelm, stress, and/or anxiety caused by the coronavirus pandemic and current climate of unrest.

Topics include Signs and Symptoms of a Mental Health Crisis, Concerns and Risks with Special Populations such as Youth and Seniors, Tools and Techniques to Handle Stress, and more.
