Free Online Course from Coursera: Mind Control; Managing Your Mental Health During COVID-19

Coursera is offering a free online course about Mind Control: Managing Your Mental Health During COVID-19.

About the Course:

Never in the history of humanity have so many people been feeling intense anxiety related to COVID-19 and the world it will leave in its wake. The intent of this course is to give you a deeper understanding of the anxiety reaction as it relates to various aspects of our current life, ranging from our consumption of news to the way we talk to our children about this. I will also give you clear strategies for managing and, in fact, turning off the anxiety response at least for short periods. My sincere hope is that you will leave this course with a better understanding of how your brain reacts to crises, along with some powerful tools for managing it before it manages you.

Syllabus:

• Week 1: The Machinery Underlying Anxiety and How to Control It
• Week 2: Managing Anxiety by Managing Your Environment
• Week 3: Understanding and Managing the Effects of Isolation
• Week 4: Summary.
