Lifespan Speaker Series – COVID-19 and the Community

Are certain people lying about their COVID-19 symptoms, and how do they feel about that? 

What have children’s experiences been during COVID-19 and how have they been shaped by inequalities and different family forms?

How do individual and demographic differences relate to young adults’ adaptive and maladaptive coping (including rule-breaking) during COVID-19?

What has been the impact of COVID-19 on active Canadians?

This webinar hosted on October 27 explored these questions by discussing different research being conducted across Brock University.

Please note that this webinar does not discuss or recommend specific treatment or public health interventions, nor is it intended to provide individual advice. Brock University is not recommending any specific resource and/or healthcare options that may be discussed. Individuals should consult with their healthcare team/treatment provider for all healthcare recommendations and decisions.

We would like to acknowledge the support from Faculty of Applied Health Science and Faculty of Social Sciences, which helped to make this event possible.
