Returning to School (1 Hour)
https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZckd-qtqj0qHdxbcwQ35f55E2NvlqG12qgH
The beginning of a new school year or
starting at a new school can be stressful in the best of times. With
concerns about health risks like the COVID-19 pandemic, the stress and
anxiety experienced by students and their families can seem overwhelming. It
is also important for children and adolescents to develop effective coping
skills to meet the demands of challenging times. Pandemics are long and
complex public health emergencies. Coping with the intensity and duration of
such events can be difficult. This 90-minute webinar-style program addresses
the emotional impact of COVID-19 and strategies for coping with returning to
school.
Program Highlights:
· Three types of behavioral responses
to public health emergencies
· Understanding the “Bookends Effect”
· The Bio-Psycho-Social response to
COVID-19
· Strategies and coping techniques
· Helping families cope
· Coping with the challenges of
quarantine
· Giving and seeking emotional support
· Developing effective stress
management routines
· Resources for addressing the
emotional impact of the pandemic
