TORONTO, ON – February 23, 2023, Lifemark Health Group hosted a webinar on managing stress during uncertain times, in honor of psychology month.

The panel of mental health experts included Lifemark's own psychologists Dr. Sylvie Bourgeois and Dr. “RB” Watts, as well as registered social worker Debbie Garshon. 

During the webinar, the experts discussed common stress reactions and practical strategies to enhance resilience to help people rebuild a sense of hope and control over their lives. The audience gained a greater understanding of the common reactions to stress and uncertainty, including anxiety, fear, and loss of control. The experts provided easy-to-use strategies for healthy coping and developing resilience, such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and positive self-talk.

By the end of the webinar, the audience was better able to recognize when help may be needed and who can help. This webinar is another way Lifemark is supporting the mental health of their clients and the community.
