REMOTE WORKSHOP - Dancing with the prolonged pandemic anxiety: How to have the tough talks, support your students and keep your families grounded

June 15th, 2020

10am-12pm

Speaker: Nancy Rappaport, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School; Consultant, Psychiatry Department at Cambridge Health Alliance

Description: Back by popular demand, Dr. Rappaport will build on the strategies and information from her May webinar. She will discuss supporting children with histories of trauma, how we can anchor ourselves in hope, how to answer children's difficult questions, strategies for children who may withdraw, and how we continue to strengthen our resilience as we prepare ourselves, our students and families for the long haul in unpredictable circumstances and with an uncertain endpoint. 

This workshop is free of charge for Massachusetts K-12 educators. There is a $100 fee for educators out of state. Please contact Lauren@mpyinc.org for more info.
