"A Framework for Investigating Living and Working with Disabilities and Long COVID"

For a young adult, living and working with a disability like a mental health condition can be challenging. Adding Long COVID to the mix makes things even harder. This webinar, "A Framework for Investigating Living and Working with Disabilities and Long COVID" was presented last month by our colleagues from the University of New Hampshire and shared current research on this topic.

The presenters reviewed current research on Long COVID, described prior research conducted by the team on COVID related issues among people with disabilities and shared the development of a novel coaching-based intervention to help people with disabilities who also experience Long COVID succeed at work.
