Guiding Our Children Through Crisis
Event Overview
Many school-age children are participating in hybrid or distance learning, and a large number of young children are with parents who are trying to balance working from home with helping their kids with school and other needs. For families across America, day-to-day life looks much different than it did only a year ago. As a result, a growing number of caregivers are reporting that their children are struggling with feelings like isolation, anxiety, and depression.
How can we help children continue to navigate today’s world and all of its challenges in a way that is sustainable? How are the experiences and needs of children of color different right now from those of white children? How can caregiver burnout be prevented or treated?
Join Dr. Dana E. Crawford, pediatric and clinical psychologist, for a discussion about child mental health and well-being in these trying times.
