We’ve surpassed a year of living within a global pandemic, where the lives of children and youth have been transformed in ways we never thought possible. The worry and stress surrounding social distancing, masking and hand-washing may be diminishing as they’ve become components in their daily routines, however other aspects have created new and evolving psychological and emotional challenges.
In support of our customers and their employees across the country, on Tuesday, June 22nd, Homewood Health will be hosting a webinar focused on the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on children:
COVID-19: Supporting Children’s Mental Health. Hosted by Emma Rickard.
In this session, Homewood Health will discuss the psychological impacts the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has on our children, while highlighting factors that can promote and preserve their mental health, well-being and resiliency during and beyond the pandemic.
Please join us for this special event. Space is limited. Register Here: Tuesday, June 22nd 7-8 p.m. EST
Please note that this webinar will be recorded and posted to the Homewood Health website one week following the final session.
