COVID-19 (Coronavirus):
Taking Care of Your Mental Health in the Face of Uncertainty
Here at InnerSourced Solutions our little staff of 7 providers are trying to keep all of our balls in the air while responding to the many emails, messages and phone calls we are receiving. Like you, we have been monitoring the news about the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been changing by the hour, and it is enough to give us whiplash! Please know that the health and welfare of our valued clients and guests is always of utmost importance to us. We do not have all the answers but we will do the best we can to keep people informed of what is going on around us and the mitigation and precautions being taken to keep the clinic safe for anyone who enters the facility.
It is a possibility that our clients and guests, as well as our staff, may come into contact with and/or contract the virus. It can be spread in multiple ways, including from family members or friends, or with exposure while at work, school, the grocery store, the gas pump, or any number of places you may visit. We are not raising an alarm but, rather, trying to get out in front of a possibility.
Effective, Monday, March 16, 2020, InnerSourced Solutions will be providing ALL services remotely via secure video conferencing on Google Meet or Zoom until further notice. Because the situation is complex and evolving rapidly, our plans may change. If they do, we’ll let you know.
If you already have an appointment scheduled, you will automatically receive an Invitation to meet online via email. Please check your junk or spam if you do not see it in your in box. Please contact your therapist directly if you need help.
To use Google Meet or Zoom all you need is a computer or cell phone with a camera. You will simply click the very first link in the email Invitation to start your session. Alternatively, you can download Google's "Meet" or the Zoom app. Either way, it's super easy!
All new clients will receive two sets of emails. The first email will be a link to our Patient Portal to complete an Intake Packet. This is BEST from a computer or tablet, rather than a cell phone; it takes about 15 minutes. All forms must be completed BEFORE your appointment, this is necessary in order to be seen. The second email will be an invitation to Google Meet or Zoom for your session. If you need help, just give your therapist call or reply to the email you received.
While we’ll miss seeing you in person in our office, we hope that you will take care of your mental health in the face of all this uncertainty. We hope to bring you a touch of joy and inspiration in this difficult time, while we do our part to keep things under control. We thank you for your patience in these trying times and look forward to continuing to serve you and your family!
Look out for one another, and be well. Sending loving kindness as we all navigate this stressful situation.
We’ll see you soon.
