Treating Anxiety in the Aftermath of COVID

Enroll in the Online Self-Study course and complete it at your own pace.
3 CE hours available for behavioral health clinicians upon completion.

Anxiety didn’t vanish with lockdowns. In fact, for many, it became ambient—seeping into daily decisions, eroding confidence, and intensifying clinical symptoms in both new and returning clients. As the world shifts toward a new normal, clinicians must be prepared to treat anxiety that is no longer just pathological—but also validated, pervasive, and deeply rooted in lived experience.

This self-paced CE course empowers behavioral health professionals with effective strategies to help clients manage the unique, lingering anxieties of the COVID-19 era. Grounded in neuroscience, cognitive-behavioral insights, and trauma-informed approaches, the course provides a practical path forward through uncertainty, panic, and re-entry challenges.
