Almost all Summit County residents would answer that question with “never,” and might feel more than a little stressed out about it. To fill the need for conversation and support in an isolated time, Summit County mental health organizations are rolling out free online group support sessions and webinars aimed at helping attendees cope. Connect Summit County is beginning a series of Facebook Live talks with local experts, while the county Health Department will hold what Director of Behavioral Health Aaron Newman calls “watercooler conversations” every Friday from 3-4:30 p.m. Newman said that his department’s sessions are intended to provide residents a space to air out their thoughts safely, without needing to book time for an appointment with a mental health professional or to travel to be around a group of people. The sessions are sponsored by University of Utah Health and will be delivered through Zoom, a messaging and video chat service, since in-person gatherings aren’t possible. “This week, not only do we have the COVID-19 taking place, but as a result of that we have a lot of people either getting furloughed or (who have) lost their jobs, and not knowing where that next paycheck is coming from that’s caused people a lot of stress and anxiety,” Newman said. “Traditionally a lot of those Continued from B-6 Eateries are still serving looking forward to doing,” he said. Ginger Wicks, executive director Park City Area Restaurant READY, SET ... GETS LOW! 1 2 3 4 5 6 folks would go to their community watering holes, they have a network of people that they could support and talk to and get it off their chest, and with everything closed right now that’s just not an option.” Connect Summit County Executive Director Deanna Rhodes, meanwhile, said that the nonprofit’s sessions will each have a central theme, such as Saturday’s “Staying Mentally Balanced Through These Unprecedented Times,” which is scheduled for 10 a.m. and will feature Park City psychiatrist Melissa Lopez-Larson. The talk will be delivered via Facebook Live on Lopez-Larson’s page, @drlsquared. The sessions are open to 20 attendees.

This is a marathon right now, and we’re not sure where the finish line is,” Aaron Newman, Summit County Health Department behavioral health coordinator “We’ve had a lot of outpouring of support from providers during this time; ideally we get one a day,” Rhodes said. “We’re really trying to get this up as quick as possible so that there is at least this resource to get people started.” More sessions are in the works, including a Health Department series focused on parenting. Among the possibilities for Connect are sessions aimed at teenagers and Spanish-language sessions. Newman said that his department’s sessions have been in development since the beginning of the week and that, as with many services and providers, he and his staff have been working overtime to account for the new coronavirus pandemic and its disruptions to everyday life. “This is a marathon right now, and we’re not sure where the finish line is,” he said. “You don’t get into behavioral health work to have a 9-to-5 job.” Without a clear endpoint for the crisis, both Newman and Rhodes said they’re actively searching for volunteers to help monitor the sessions and provide input of their own. Prospective volunteers can get in touch by contacting the respective organizations. Association, hopes the community will step up and help restaurants such as Hearth and Hill provide fine foods for the community and some sort of financial security for their staff. “In the wake of our current times, supporting our local restaurants is more important than ever,” Wicks said in a statement. “Our local restaurant community depends on you, as much as you depend on them. We are grateful for the steps they are taking to ensure the health and safety of our community.” These steps, Wicks said come at a cost and in an effort to mitigate this as much as possible she encourages the public to visit the association’s website, parkcityrestaurants.com for a list of all restaurants currently offering safe curbside service. “If you are a restaurant that has taken the proper steps to provide curbside service and are not listed, please contact [e-mail] and we will gladly add you regardless if you are a member of the PCARA,” she said. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 64 65 102 103 BY NANCY STARK AND WILL NEDIGER / EDITED BY WILL SHORTZ 19 Nancy Stark of New York City is a writer, lyricist and former editor for the Literary Guild book club.
