Dr. David Mou: Staying Safe and Sane During the Pandemic

There's a lot of misinformation about COVID-19 right now and we want to help dispell some of them. Dr. David Mou will talk about some of the facts and myths of coronavirus, and also talk about a few coping strategies to get through the quarantine. 

This is a weekly virtual discussion forum to help you get through this challenging time. Share with us your story, and your tips on staying safe and sane. Bring a cup of tea, find your quiet space away from your close quarter, and open up Zoom to chat with us!

We are bringing on Dr. David Mou, a Harvard psychiatrist and advoate for Asian American mental health issues to moderate the discussion.
