By the end of the session, participants will…
Identify assessment tools that support identifying Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Increase empathy and responsiveness toward individuals struggling with seasonal mood changes.
Identify coping mechanisms for people experiencing (SAD) as well as holiday related grief and loss.
Engage in dialogue through case study.
