Readjusting to life during the COVID-19 Pandemic
As the start of school year draws near there continues to be a great deal of uncertainty regarding daily operations, instructional options, start dates, etc. In addition, there is also a concern from educators about the possibility of exposure to COVID-19 from colleagues and students. As if that was not enough, educators are also concerned about the education of their own children and their possible exposure to COVID if they need to return to school because mom and dad must return to work.
If this scenario sounds all too familiar please join us for our final COVID-19 Community Webinar on July 29th featuring therapist Jim Denning, and his wife, Dr. Sylvia Denning who is a reading specialist for Northside ISD. Together they will share their experience regarding re-adjustment to life with COVID-19
