This is a link to Mental Health First Aid. There are some great articles to read about depression and anxiety during this time and how to take care of yourself while social distancing.

We have also attached a PowerPoint Presentation with several calming techniques, contact information, and strategies for talking with your child.

The most important action is to talk with your child, let them know you’re there for them, and that they are safe.
