In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, I have chosen to focus on a Meaning-Focused Coping approach.  I have used this approach to focus on the learning that comes along with the pandemic, discovering why and how it happened, why it has affected so many and how it has spread, what is and could be done to combat it and I am also applying my current knowledge in public health to try to see all sides of it.  I have also used this time to realize what is really important in my life and have been able to do some self-growth as well which will help me come out stronger on the other side.

To me, resilience is based off of first and foremost the actions of one's self. The decisions that a person makes to deal with a situation make or break their resilience in the future. I have chosen to provide resilience for myself during this time by focusing on staying calm, following the realistic and scientific information without drawing false conclusions, making a new plan for how I will finish the semester strong online remembering to practice self-care while at home.

One specific action that I am taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in my community is that I am taking the 14 day home quarantine seriously, since I traveled outside of Alaska for the first week of Spring Break, I have stayed at home and have not come in contact with anyone else. This is very important to be able to flatten the curve of people being infected everyday.

Timmy, a second-grader, wasn’t feeling like himself. A month ago his best friend moved to another city, leaving Timmy feeling sad, miserable, and with no one to play with in his free time. His mom and dad were worried because he was no longer interested in kite-flying, something he had really enjoyed for a long time. Timmy also tried to make excuses for why he should stay home from school. Sometimes Timmy wouldn’t go to sleep at night, and he wasn’t interested in eating any of his favorite foods. His parents worried about how sad he always seemed. After a month of worry, his parents decided to take Timmy to a family counselor.
