2 | The page map below lists everything on this page and links to its spot on the page. In the Table of contents, you will find the links and descriptions of each of the tabs. | Hi! I hope you find this resource to be helpful and useful. My background is in civil engineering and transportation planning, so I by no means am a medical or public health expert. If nothing else, treat this as a starting point in your learning journey, and not the be-all-end-all (because yes, this is a journey, and being informed is not a process that happens overnight. Be easy on yourself. Take deep breaths. Rest, rest, rest!!) Ctrl+F on PC and CMND+F is your friend when searching in here:) Please note that it is an ongoing process to find resources and add information into this spreadsheet. I encourage you to check back in regularly as I'm constantly updating the information in here. I am also learning as I go along, so the categorization and other details are subject to change as I work through it. Please email me at realhealmusic@gmail.com with questions, concerns, comments, more resources, etc. I'm happy to keep this as an open and free resource. Thank you so much, stay safe, wear a respirator, filter & ventilate the air, and have a nice day! | Page Map | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
