Helping Children and Youth Adjust to the “New Normal”

This training will focus on understanding the feelings, behaviors, and reactions of children to the “new normal” as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Topics to be discussed include the following:
• Signs to look for that children may be experiencing anxiety, fear, worry, depression as various activities resume, and they return to school.
• Signs that children may be grieving their “old normal” and/or grieving the loss of a loved one due to COVID-19.
• Techniques to help children, in various settings, with their feelings as they adapt to the “new normal.”
