Clients and Friends of CHC,
As we finish our third week of working remotely, we'd like to express appreciation for the feedback we've received from so many of you who found the information in our Hear and Connect blog helpful.
Somewhat unexpectedly, we have all been thrust into a world of Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Team, Facebook, Skype, telehealth and remote learning as a way to come together while we practice social distancing. For some of us (probably the younger ones among us), this technology was familiar. For the rest of us (including me!) it was not.
I was one of those who used Zoom as a participant when I had to, but almost always cut off my video. Now… I cherish our CHC daily director check-ins and chats with other staff, colleagues and consumers. It’s what we have right now to stay connected.
Hear and Connect is our blog series offering tips, technical guidance and special resources to help you navigate these challenging times. New posts are highlighted below along with a link to last week's resources. And stay tuned as we introduce a series of webinars and virtual chats on a variety of topics in the coming days and weeks.
