From the outset, the COVID-19 Pandemic has had a tremendous impact on all aspects of our lives. Faced with the important challenges brought on by the pandemic, we have been required to adjust and adapt in all aspects of our lives. The impact that this has had on our children and our families has been particularly challenging.
This webinar will focus on the concrete ways that strengthening our relationships with our children can build resilience and hope as well as specific strategies to help our children (and ourselves) cope with the many changes we have been facing.
