Children who face excessive stress have been shown to react, behave, and cope in unhealthy ways. Some even shut down completely. Compounded by the additional stressors brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, today’s youth are overwhelmed and struggling. Their need for a strong support system is crucial to keeping them on the right path. But, sometimes that support system needs reinforcements.

If you or someone you know is caring for a child, you’re in invited to attend one of two FREE virtual workshops, “How to Best Support Youth in a Virtual Environment” led by respected education specialists Dr. Lori Desautels and Michael McKnight.

In these sessions, participants will receive guidance on how to help youth who are dealing with issues affecting their mental health and motivation, and how to address their behavior. Attendees will also receive self-care tips they can use to keep themselves in a positive, healthy state of mind.
