During these uncertain times, it is okay to feel angry, stressed, scared, anxious, bored, sad, nothing or any other emotion! Your feelings are valid, and they may change from day to day, moment to moment.

Your child may also experience many different emotions as well. You can help by carefully listening to their thoughts and feelings, and responding with truth and reassurance.

See the Mental Health Resource page for support for your child or family.
