Use the Force: Staying Positive & Motivated During COVID-19

Nerds Never Say Die Live: Episode 2 – Use the Force: Staying Positive & Motivated During COVID-19 with Clint Banks, LCSW

In our second episode (which streamed live on Facebook, Monday, May 4, 2020 at 3 PM PDT) Nerds Never Say Die host, Danny Ballard, discussed ways to stay positive and motivated during COVID-19 with Licensed Clinical Social Worker and owner of Headway insight, Clint Banks. With it being Star Wars Day in the nerd community, Danny and Clint had a fun discussion that they hope served as a distraction from the troubling time surrounding the Coronavirus Pandemic while providing useful information about how to not let frustration and fear lead you down the path towards the “Dark Side.” Happy Star Wars Day and May the Fourth Be with You all!

The global pandemic known as COVID-19 has led many to feel scared, frustrated, and demotivated due to many losing their jobs and being forced to stay at home; especially here in Las Vegas where so many people rely on gambling and the service industry as their way of life.

For some, feelings of loneliness and depression may be new, but for others, being in isolation has just exacerbated their existing struggles.

Nerds Never Say Die is here to help. Now that we have our Nevada Domestic Nonprofit Corporation Charter, we kicked off Mental Health Awareness Month 2020 with a 5-Part Mental Health Issues During COVID-19 Series of live streams with Clint Banks, LCSW.
