During these trying times, it can be difficult to know where to turn for information or to find quality resources. The William James College COVID-19 Resource Hub offers a collection of materials created by WJC community members, or gathered from reputable sources and curated by WJC faculty and staff for the benefit of the community.

The Hub provides training tools for mental health professionals and our partners, materials for educators; resources for parents seeking ways to engage children in educational play at home; and, of course, mental health resources for those who need support.

Among the resources are free, online groups offered by the William James College Center of Excellence for Children, Families and the Law and the Brenner Center for Psychological Assessment and Consultation on the following topics. For dates, times and login details please visit the Hub's Public Events Calendar page.
