Navigating Mental Health as a Therapist During Economic Collapse

How to Handle What Is Showing Up In Your Office

This training exists because what is happening in the world right now is showing up in your office, and no one is talking about it directly enough. Over the next 90 minutes we are going to change that.

There are six outcomes we are working toward today. By the end you should have tools you can use in session Monday morning, not just concepts to think about.

• Understand how economic collapse presents clinically across populations

• Recognize and manage secondary traumatic stress in this specific context

• Identify evidence-based interventions for economically-driven mental health crises

• Navigate the ethical challenges that arise during economic instability

• Develop a framework for holding financial distress without overstepping scope

• Protect your own mental health so you can keep doing this work
