Dr. Elizabeth Menefee, Child Guidance & Family Solutions/ Dr. Jeffrey Moore,Portage Path Behavioral Health: Mental Health & COVID-19

Akron Roundtable Podcast

Presentation: The global pandemic has taken its toll on our community in countless ways, especially in terms of our mental health. Dr. Brian Harte, President, Cleveland Clinic Akron General will moderate a conversation with Drs. Menefee and Moore, discussing the stressing effects of COVID-19 and what we can do to cope.

We are excited to test the Zoom Breakout Room feature with a limited number of participants, randomly selected for a post-event 20-minute discussion session. Simply stay on the line after the presentation if you’d like to share ideas, ask questions, discuss, listen and learn in a moderated small group setting.

If our test goes well, we hope to offer this discussion group option to more of our Virtual Forum attendees at future events.
