Education and Strategies Intervention
Sessions will be led by registered therapists and clinicians in the fields of psychology, rheumatology, cardiology and neurology. The sessions will be comprised of educational presentations on the nature of persisting symptoms after COVID-19 and associated recommendations for self-management.
Mindfulness Skills Intervention
The Mindfulness Skills Intervention is an 8-week program designed to provide an introduction to some basic mindfulness skills. Each session begins with a brief breath focus practice followed by discussion of the experience and sharing/discussion of the previous week including participants' experiences. Each session also includes some didactics, and a new, related mindfulness skill is introduced and practiced, followed by another discussion.
