  • Managing Stress During the Coronavirus

    April 27, 2020

    The last few weeks have tested even the calmest among us.

  • The Coronavirus Pandemic is a Collective Trauma Experience

    April 20, 2020

    Post written by guest blogger Ana Martins Ribeiro, Special Programs Coordinator in OITE. How to Help Individuals and Communities Heal So much has been said about how the Coronavirus pandemic is threatening our mental health and how the anxiety, panic and fear we are experiencing are affecting our focus, productivity and wellbeing.

  • Working From Home – Tips & Tricks

    April 6, 2020

    Changing from an in-office/lab environment to working from home represents a change in routine for most of us.  Many of us are creatures of habit, so alternations to our routines (morning rituals, commutes, office space, interaction with co-workers, etc.) require an adjustment period.  Here are some tips for making the adjustment a bit easier: Get up each morning and go through your regular morning routine.  Set your alarm for the same time you would normally rise, shower, have a cup of coffee, watch the news, and get dressed (it’s OK to be comfortable, but get out of your pajamas and into casual clothing).   Set-up a dedicated space in your house that you will work from.…
