TALKING WITH KIDS ABOUT CORONAVIRUS
Thursday, April 2, 8pm
Join us for time together to discuss strategies for supporting our youth and families during this challenging turn of events. We will identify specific ways that you can encourage and empower those around you and how to prepare to support during moments of distress. Hopefully the kids will be settled down in bed by 8pm and you can take some time to Zoom with Amanda Luedtke, a Lutheran Social Services Mental Health Professional.
