| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to StoryClider's Stories of COVID-19. |
| 0:16.0 | I'm your host, Artistic Director Aaron Barker, and today we're bringing you part two of our episode |
| 0:21.5 | on Adaptation. If you missed part one, we shared a story from the amazing Fiona Calvert and spoke |
| 0:27.7 | with psychologist Kevin Chapman about how we can adapt to protect our mental health during this time. |

| 1:45.7 | that says possible thunderstorm in the next 15 minutes, I assume, of course, it's going to be |
