March 5th- COVID-19 Impact on Students & Caregivers Mental Health

Over the last year, our lives transformed dramatically and impacted us in ways we couldn't imagine. The demand on parents—including ourselves— increased drastically and left us facing the challenge of trying to balance work-life, educating and taking care of our children, altering our social lives, adjusting to the many transitions, and many other things all while trying to cope with the devastating aftermath of COVID-19. As a result, our mental health has been heavily impacted. The National Federation of Families conducted the Family Voices on Education and Mental Health During COVID-19 survey across the country to learn about how children and caregivers were doing and I believe it's safe to say we ALL feel the same. If you're interested in learning what caregivers across the country had to say please refer to the attachment below titled Education & Mental Health Survey Infographic. 
We also would like to stress the importance of YOU TAKING CARE OF YOU so if notice that you're not feeling your best mentally (please be aware of physical symptoms as well: stomach pain, nausea, fatigue, insomnia, muscle tension/pain, headache, &, etc.) tap into the resources that are available to you which is the COVID-19 Phone Numbers that was put together by Cardinal Innovations in the attachment below titled COVID-19 Phone Numbers.
