  • Talking with Children During Infectious Disease Outbreaks

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provides a tip sheet for caregivers, parents, and teachers on talking with children during infectious disease outbreaks.

    SAMHSA tip sheet provides information for toddlers to teens and includes:

    • Possible reactions
    • Talking with children and youth in different age groups
    • Supporting children and managing their responses
    • Self-care
    • More resources
  • Positive Parenting in COVID-19 Isolation

    Parenting experts have created a new set of evidence-based resources for parents and caregivers to support their children’s growth – and interact with them constructively – during this time of confinement.
