Dear Mental Health Innovators: The COVID-19 Honeymoon Is Almost Over.

Unbeknownst to those whose education was really less education and more training for their future jobs (so things like history were deemed a waste of time), the human family has lived through past disasters, including multiple pandemics. There are patterns to these things.
Heroic Stage
