Virtual ZOOM Meeting
July 14th, 2020
Zoom Membership Meeting- Tuesday July 14th 9:30am-11:30am
Due to continued restrictions and concerns over Covid-19, ASRP of Washington has elected to hold a Zoom meeting in place of our scheduled in-person quarterly Board/Membership meeting. These meetings are open for attendance but we do require attendees to be on mute if not called to speak. Aside from our normal duties we are excited to have:
Educational speaker Betsy Zuber, MH, GMHS, LMHC
Specializing in counseling for adults, older adults and their families.
Betsy will be speaking about social isolation during Covid-19.
Information on Betsy from her website: https://zubercounseling.com/
Being involved in taking care of my grandparents as a teenager helped me to realize the value each generation brings to our family and greater society. With age comes wisdom, and our elders can help teach us our family culture and traditions. Specialized mental health services contributes to a healthy family and ultimately healthy aging.
Asking for help is sometimes the hardest thing to do. With over 25 years of experience treating adults and older adults, my job is to provide you with support, and help you develop effective strategies to cope with situational or long-term struggles. This may include providing education and resources, helping learn new techniques or skills to cope, and explore how thoughts and feelings are connected.
