Register here! The COVID-19 pandemic brought with it the experience of stress and trauma. This is due to situations that are directly related, such as social isolation, illness and bereavement, and also indirectly, such as economic losses and interpersonal violence. Stress and trauma, in this context, reach epidemic proportions and differ from the usual pre-pandemic, as they are collective and continuous. Based on the knowledge developed by the COVIDPsiq research, which has been studying the mental health of Brazilians, as well as that of parallel works, this course is being proposed to update health professionals on the subject. The course intends to explore the topic from assessment to treatment, including the various disorders arising from the hospital and emergency perspective.
