Talking to Children About COVID-19

When the World Feels Like A Scary Place: Talking to Your Children About the Novel Coronavirus

The current pandemic has raised anxiety for most of the population, as we adjust to social distancing, maintaining good health, and multiple disruptions to life and society. Parents are often sandwiched between dealing with their own anxiety and helping manage their children's worries about the coronavirus. Dr. Abi Gewirtz, Lindahl Leadership Faculty Chair and Director of the University's Institute for Translational Research in Children's Mental Health, will host a presentation and live Q&A on strategies to help parents maintain family wellbeing during these stressful times, and in particular, tools for "essential conversations" with children about the coronavirus and our current scary times.
