SOCIAL EMOTIONAL EDUCATION

 

Will the kids be all right?
Date: Thursday, August 20, 2020

Time: 1pm-2pm

 

How will this continued state of isolation during the pandemic affect the long-term mental health of children in California? If you’re a parent, teacher, care provider or guardian, join us as we explore this question and discuss the impact of this unprecedented time on our state’s youth.

CalMatters childhood issues reporter Elizabeth Aguilera will moderate the conversation about the potential long-term effects of COVID-19 on mental health, what behaviors to watch for in your child and how to help them cope with the stress of the pandemic.
 

This discussion will be structured around our participants. We’d love to hear from you before we meet.

What questions and comments do you have? Submit your feedback here and follow CalMatters on FacebookInstagram, and Twitter for the latest on mental health and other important issues in California.
