Helping Children During the Age of COVID-19

Children of all ages may be facing a number of challenges during this time. Guided Path Psychological Services is here to help you. We have convenient and comfortable telehealth sessions available. Additionally, our therapy dog Walter can make an appearance during virtual sessions if requested!

If you are having difficulty talking to your children about COVID-19,we can provide strategies to help you:

• Ease your anxiety before talking to your child.
• Introduce developmentally appropriate aspects.
• Be reassuring.
• Keep avenues of communication open.

Teens may be having a particularly difficult time navigating this changing landscape. Has your teen been struggling with isolation from friends and relationships shifting to virtual for the time being? Or are they finding e-learning challenging? Perhaps, they are grappling with a sense of loss after activities they have worked so hard for have been canceled. Our supportive and understanding clinicians offer friendly guidance during a challenging time. Several of our clinicians specialize in working specifically with teens.

If your child has been struggling with e-learning, we can assist your child in various aspects including time management, completing assignments and communicating with teachers and other students virtually.

We at Guided Path are here to provide nurturing support during this ever changing time. Call us at 847-809-3031 to set up a virtual or phone session.
