Practicing resilience during social distancing

 

Welcome to the COVID-19 and PACEs Science Collection for Self-Care Practices!

We have four topic-specific resource lists related to COVID-19 and PACEs Science. All four will be updated for as long as this pandemic lasts. They are as follows:

We hope these lists, and the resources, practices, and information in them, are helpful and easy to use. Please let us know if you have ideas, suggestions, practices, or resources to share or are in search of by leaving a comment after this post.

Thank you, and take care!

mceclip0The Nap Ministry
Tricia Hersey

This organization "examines the liberating power of naps," and "examines rest as a radical tool for community healing.  We believe rest is a form of resistance and name sleep deprivation as a racial and social justice issue." The most recent blog post, in reference to COVID-19, is entitled, As grind culture slows down, will you? (Thanks to @Donielle Prince for sharing this!)


Trauma projectTrauma Project Facebook page

This is a page I view several times a day no matter what is happening in the world. During the pandemic, it remains the go-to resource. It's described as "A Psychoeducational Page about trauma + treatment, healing and self-compassion, culture and creativity. Curated by Carol Anna McBride, M.A., M.Ed., Member O.A.C.C.P.P., C.C.A., ISTSS."

This is my favorite source of information for articles, videos, links to classes and curated content about all things trauma, regulation, and healing.
