Resources For Parents and Students
It is an important time to check-in with your kids. Many of you have reached out seeking resources to support your students during this challenging time.
From COVID-19 school closures, virus anxiety, and the recent protests, our children are absorbing the events around them whether we are speaking about it or not. When such events occur while school is in session, our counselors and educators design activities to help students process these events. Due to mass school closures, students and their communities are left without the in-person tools to help process a tragic week. The following resources provide ideas for meeting the social-emotional needs of your child during COVID-19 and ways to start important conversations about race.
