Coping With COVID
A conversation with Dr. Fayth Parks
What’s the psychological impact of the pandemic? While we focus on preventing the spread of COVID-19, developing effective therapeutics and vaccines, and treating patients, are we addressing the signs and symptoms of issues like loneliness, depression, anxiety, and PTSD? Dr. Fayth Parks, a professor of counseling and a licensed psychologist whose research focuses on HIV/AIDS, stigma, rural health, and how culture connects to healing and recovery, joins Leigh this week to discuss how we cope with something so unprecedented.
