GSEP Hub Q&A Webinar Series Podcast

Re-imagining Familyhood vs. Social Distancing: A Global Transitional Insight

The audio version is available on Spotify, Google Play Music, and Apple Podcasts.

In this 40 minutes GSEP Hub Q&A Webinar Series with Dr. Tosin Martin Taiwo, we explored and attempted to respond to the following questions:
(i) How can family ties (relationships) be maintained in the context of the catchphrase ‘social distancing’?
(ii) Social distancing and physical distancing, which concept do we adopt?
(iii) To what extent is social distancing turning into an emotional distancing?
(iv) From health and well-being perspectives, what strategies can help us to sparkle our mental state amid COVID-19 global lockdown?
(v) How can we continue to strive and thrive during and beyond the crisis?
Some of the maintenance strategies highlighted include self-discipline, work-home ethics, positivity, openness, ‘housekeeping’ (self-organisation), gratitude practice (morning ritual), assurances, relational sharing, self-development (learning new skills and brainstorming), networking, contact, and connection among others.
