The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on all of us. Many of you may have gone to college expecting the classic face-to-face experience with a mix of classes and fun with new friends, only to find yourself in lockdown and online classes.

For many of us life is still not back to "normal" and instead we are developing a sense of a "new normal". | The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on all of us.

We may find that our personal energy and emotional resilience is lower than it used to be. It has been and still is a difficult time. | Many of us have experienced elevated levels of exhaustion, stress, uncertainty and distraction.
