Abstract
Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (aka COVID-19), lifestyles across the world have changed. The ongoing uncertainty of a new global reality of social transformation has already put severe psychological stress on families and individuals and may lead to a state of dissociation, helplessness, and exhaustion. Worldwide, homes have become classrooms relying on human ingenuity and technology, widening the educational gap for under-resourced communities. As “normal” life has rapidly moved online, adaptive coping with ongoing crises is crucial to maintaining emotional and mental wellbeing. The current chapter is guided by previously published trauma-informed research and outlines remedies to build resilience in conquering the acute mental and educational challenges associated with COVID-19. Society's collective success in overcoming the current global complexities and crisis in education requires courage, healthy community connections, and sustainable human-computer collaboration beyond borders.
