Coping During the Coronavirus is the topic of an online Community Forum on Friday, May 8 to be presented by a university psychologist and a retired physician who co-authored a book on stress. Topics to be addressed during the 7 p.m. forum via Zoom include stress and the immune system, the unique mental health aspects of quarantine, and self-care practices to manage stress.

The presenters are Dr. John Horton, who with sports psychology expert Tim Gallwey and Dr. Edd Hanzelik co-authored "The Inner Game of Stress," and Dr. Beth Turner, a Psy.D. psychologist who is the Interim Director of Counseling and Psychological Services at California Lutheran University.

Dr. Horton had a general medical practice with a specialty in travel immunizations and infectious diseases for more than 25 years in Westlake Village. He and Dr. Hanzelik collaborated with author Gallwey in their 2009 book about stress management and prevention. Gallwey was known for his earlier books about coping with stress, first in the sports world beginning with tennis (1974 and 1976) and moving on to skiing, golf, music and the workplace. "The Inner Game of Stress" applies principles from those works and examines how stress affects bodies and minds.

Dr. Turner specializes in treating anxiety disorders through evidence-based practices. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Western Kentucky University and her Doctorate in clinical-community psychology from the University of La Verne.

The event is sponsored by Chalice Community Forum, a program of Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Conejo Valley.

Alaska health care giant Providence Health and Services made overtures to the state about taking over management of the troubled Alaska Psychiatric Institute before a lucrative no-bid contract was awarded to Wellpath , a Tennessee-based company that sprouted from the private prison industry, a letter between hospital executives and lawmakers shows. In early February, Wellpath was awarded a roughly $43 million-per-year contract to operate API, the state’s only psychiatric hospital.
