In this clip, the Director of the Resilience Lab tells of different stressors that affected her compounded by the pandemic. Her parents lived next door to a house that caught on fire and she had to troubleshoot with them at a distance to make sure they were okay. She recalls how she couldn’t hug them or invite them to stay with her for fear of COVID-19 and the toll it took on her family.
I remember I couldn’t hug them…there was so much helplessness during that time.
