Presenters:

COVID-19 has changed almost every aspect of our children’s lives this past year. Children and youth have had to adapt to rapid and sometimes multiple shifts in education settings, child care, and time spent with friends and lack of social opportunities and sporting events. The stress and the uncertainty of isolation and new demands have presented our families with significant challenges, and families report that mental health is a top concern. As families are now preparing for their children to transition back into school buildings and an eventual return to a traditional school curriculum, they are concerned with academic and emotional readiness.
