A disturbing outbreak of violence and breach of the U.S Capitol occurred today. Helping children understand the peaceful transfer of power is fundamental to our democracy. As parents, caregivers, and educators, we have a critical responsibility to help children and youth feel safe and secure and to help them learn how to engage with others of differing viewpoints in a peaceful, tolerant, and respectful manner (https://buff.ly/3s3BHTU). We developed resources in preparation for the November election that remain relevant and can assist adults helping children and youth navigate feelings of uncertainty and strong emotions, understand hate-based violence, and cope with cope with threatening actions or speech.

Great resources on broaching difficult conversations with children, across age, about injustice and racism.

The conversation about race needs to start early and keep happening.

I hope you all are doing well, staying healthy and taking care of yourself during this challenging public health crisis. Given the recent updates and recommendations related to COVID-19, I have made the difficult decision to solely offer HIPAA compliant telepsychology sessions through doxy.me. In an attempt to avoid a worse crisis, I strongly feel we must all do our part to “flatten the curve.” Although telepsychology is something new for mental health care, it is best for our health and safety—many of you may even find it more convenient! I plan to conduct telepsychology sessions solely until the recommendation of “social distancing” and state of emergency in the Commonwealth has been lifted. Thank you so much for your understanding. I look forward to “seeing” you soon and be well,
