Note: this meeting will begin at 10am MDT/12pm EDT and last 4.5 hours.
This meeting is a public health event to raise awareness of how to practice the NADA protocol according to published recommendations for mitigation of risk during the Covid-19 pandemic. The program addresses the importance of balancing CDC compliance with existing disparities in health care access across social, racial, and economic lines brought into stark relief by the Covid-19 pandemic. Offering the NADA protocol can serve as a bridge towards increased access to mental health and trauma care, and a tool for community building and resilience.
This program has three parts: (1) Opening with two keynote speakers who will focus on maximizing safety and increasing access to the NADA protocol; (2) Panel discussion with providers at 5 different NADA clinics that have continued during Covid-19; and (3) Everyday Heroes, a panel of people sharing their use of beads and seeds for stress relief and self-care. Small group discussions will follow each section.
