Parenting/Caregiving Strategies During Challenging Times

Description: From images of violent policing and racial justice uprisings to the deaths of loved ones and the stress of isolation due to COVID-19, it’s a lot for anyone to grasp right now. As a parent or caregiver for children, it is especially challenging. Spending consecutive days inside trying to balance it all – work demands, child care, homeschooling – all while keeping your own and your child’s worries and stress under control can be daunting. We invite parents and caregivers to join us for a roundtable discussion on coping strategies during these challenging times. This discussion will be informal yet supportive and will offer a guided opportunity for parents and caregivers to share their challenges, fears, victories and inspirations with fellow colleagues within the division. To join us for this conversation, please email Fritzie Charne-Merriwether (charne@umbc.edu) to reserve your space.
