Online Lunch and Learn—Keeping Your Kids (Or Grandkids) Emotionally Positive in the Time of COVID-19 with Dr. Sherry Kelly LIVESTREAM

Many of us are at home with children and teens who are adjusting to significant changes in their daily routines.  This is a stressful time for kids.  Not only are they afraid of the virus, itself, but also afraid of the significant changes they are experiencing in their lives: Isolation from friends, missing the school experience, starting online learning, experiencing stress among family members, and facing the cancellation of activities integral to their emotional-social development. What can we do to help children and teens cope with these changes? What are some evidenced-based Positive Psychology & CBT strategies that parents can implement to help foster better coping, resiliency, and emotional wellness?

Join Dr Sherry Kelly, founder of PositiviTeens, for an overview of key concepts and strategies for helping your kids cope with positivity during these uncertain times.  Sherry Kelly, PhD, is a Licensed Psychologist and Clinical Neuropsychologist who has worked in the field of child & adolescent psychology for more than 25 years.  She is also an author and researcher who has published on topics of PTSD in children, coping with illness, and the psychology of resiliency.
