Abstract

Set of Power Point slides dealing with issues of Back To School: With August coming to an end, it's time for kids to go back to school. On top of the daily stressors, the start of school can bring up different emotions for both parents and their children. With the unique circumstances of the next normal, those emotions can trickle into your work life. Even if you're not a parent, you are likely in a position to support your coworkers who are dealing with these questions: 1) What do the current COVID-19 variants mean for the return to school? 2) How can you support your child through this change and keep them safe, both physically and psychologically? 3) Expert and practical advice for supporting the mental health and well-being of you, your colleagues, and your children during the return to school.
