In the recent lesson, students discussed how significant life events, particularly employment loss due to COVID-19, affect various life factors. The case study focused on a couple, Bernice and Mark, who have three sons and are facing financial challenges after Mark lost his job. Bernice decided to start working to support the family, which has caused stress and impacted their physical well-being, housing stability, and social class. The lesson emphasized the importance of understanding how such events influence lifestyle factors like diet and exercise, as well as the mental and emotional stress associated with changes in employment.
