GLOBE Talk: Isolation and Connection During the Global Pandemic: An Existential and Terror Management Theoretical Perspective

Join us on UN World Mental Health Day 2022! The ordeal of the Global Pandemic has poignantly

terror of the unknown, compelling them to grapple with questions of meaning and purpose, the

engendered large scale mental health challenges as well as opportunities for creativity and
resourcefulness.
