STAY FAMILY STRONG

Learning the best ways to support your children can be difficult, especially when a lot of suggestions don't feel practical! These activities will focus on things that can help build resilience in your children while also allowing you an opportunity to grow closer as a family. Resilience is the ability of someone to withstand or recover from difficult situations quickly. We can build this up by focusing on the following; self-awareness, mindfulness, self-care, positive relationships, and purpose.

In the past few years, children have had a particularly hard time navigating important developmental years during COVID-19. The loss of school, regular activities, positive support of teachers and other adults, and social distance from peers make youth even more vulnerable to mental health challenges. It is important as we work to find our new normal that we also spend time connecting with our children and working together to build up our connections with ourselves and our loved ones.
