In place of the usual virtual field trip, today I'm sharing a summary and resource page from this week's parent forum on anxiety with Dr. Jennifer Bashant. As we all face challenges during this time, Dr. Bashant's suggestions regarding anxiety are relevant and timely. Review the materials and reach out if there are questions or needs that we can support.
