Dear Families,
On Tuesday evening, we were fortunate to be able to virtually host nationally recognized speaker and psychotherapist, Lynn Lyons. Lynn's fabulous presentation focused on the topic of "Paying Attention to our Families' Emotional Health". Lynn provided practical advice and strategies on managing our children's anxiety as we begin to transition back to more in-person learning in our schools as well as how we can support our children (and ourselves) with our feelings of frustration, stress, and uncertainty during this challenging time. This 60-minute session will leave everyone feeling better equipped to manage some of the new stress and anxiety that we have all been feeling. The recording of our session will be available until March 10th.
During the presentation, Lynn recommended the following resources for anyone interested in additional reading or information:
