EP 65 - Getting Back to Normal After COVID

I read in the papers this weekend that experts were saying that “The challenges presented by the pandemic are so complex and wide-ranging, they cannot be solved by health and social care professionals alone,” he said. There is only so much doctors, nurses, psychologists, therapists and other healthcare professionals can do to support the estimated 10 million people needing mental health support as a direct consequence of Covid-19.”   To be brutally honest - we need to help ourselves and support one another.   As parents - we need to support or kids and give them the coping strategies that they need to navigate these uncharted waters.   In this episode I offer 6 Tips to help you do just that : 1. Acknowledge Your Feelings 2. Let Go of Perfectionism 3. Be Prepared 4. Find Support 5. Change the Narrative 6. Always Wear Your Invisible Crown!   Want to know more?
