ICYMI - Ask a Therapist Webinar: Managing Alcohol Use

Written by Cristina Huré, Community Manager | May 7, 2021

In May, for our “Ask a Therapist” webinar series, we talked about Managing Alcohol Use with special guests! 

New research shows that during the pandemic, the use of alcohol has increased as a means to cope with pandemic-related anxiety. Let’s face it: some of us have developed unhealthy habits during the pandemic and you’re not alone. Join us as we discuss ways to let go of alcohol use to cope with negative emotions and improve your relationship with alcohol.

If you missed our webinar, you can watch the recording below to find out about:

  1. Understanding the different stages of alcohol use
  2. Understanding the underlying reasons for alcohol use
  3. Healthier coping mechanism for challenging times
