WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, April 29, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the COVID-19 pandemic wears on, it is likely that the mental health burden will increase. Measures taken to slow the spread of the virus, such as social distancing, business and school closures, and shelter-in-place orders, lead to greater anxiety over at-risk family members and job security, isolation, and financial distress.In light of this ongoing crisis, WhitbeckBennett, a family law firm based in Virginia specializing in family, special education, and mental health law and Ashburn Psychological Services, a premier clinical psychology and psychiatry practice in Loudoun County will present a free webinar entitled, The Impact of COVID-19 on Mental Health and Families in Crisis.

John Whitbeck, Partner at WhitbeckBennett, explains the premise for the timing of this webinar, “May is Mental Health Awareness month, so there is no better time than to partner with Ashburn Psychological Services, than in the midst of the worst healthcare crisis of our time, and offer a free webinar for our community with highly regarded professionals to discuss strategies and tools on topics in mental health.” Dr. Mike Oberschneider, founder of Ashburn Psychological and Psychiatric Services went on to say, ”[t]he psychosocial impact of the virus has been collectively experienced by us all worldwide. Whether it’s adjusting to the changing family, social, work/school dynamics, managing anxiety over the crisis and the related uncertainties and unknowns, or coming to terms with feelings of isolation, loneliness, and loss, the impact has been significant and far reaching. It is an honor to partner with WhitbeckBennett to provide a forum to explore these varied issues in support of our community.”
