UVM Vermont Center on Behavior & Health faculty members Allison N. Kurti, Ph.D., and Stephen Higgins, Ph.D., discuss how to manage the natural urge to socialize, how to understand our reactions and feelings, and how to establish new, healthy routines to help us cope with our “new normal” and help keep our communities safe.

We, and our entire state, can be proud of the progress made in limiting COVID-19 over the past three months. As such, Vermont is among the states most prepared for the gradual reopening allowed by our governor and being undertaken in our teaching, clinical and research missions. I ask you continue to follow the regular messages about those areas. Please note that we all are obligated to complete our state COVID-19 Mandatory Health and Safety Training prior to returning.
